The following video on You Tube shows a lab in Los Angeles in 1967. It is a tour narrated by Peter Wilding, past-president of AACC. It should be interesting to your postgrads. -Jim http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eH2zzYROQY >>> Elizabeth MacNamara <[log in to unmask]> 11/8/2010 11:45 AM >>> I am giving a lecture to postgrads on how the lab has changed. I have a photo of a SMAC but can't remember what the two chemistries were that if the tubes leaked could cause cyanide gas to be produced. I think the acid came from the protein but can't be sure. Is there some old codger out there with brain cells a little more agile than mine.
