Introducing me.

This is me. The labrat in the white coat. I've been a lab rat for a long time. Ever since I was small, I wanted to wear a white coat, and stuff the top pocket with spatulas, indicator paper, and things which you use to prod and poke. I can't seem to get out of the lab. Every time I try to get out, it keeps dragging me back (where have I heard that before?). Actually, I don't want to get out of the lab. It's where I belong.

So about this blog. This is going to be about what I like to do, and what I do for a living, which is pretty much the same thing. You can shout "get a life!", but all I can say is that I have a life, and this is it. I'm a professional analytical chemist specializing in the development of analytical methods for process and quality control. My company consults to the global market leader in titration technology, Metrohm. We are assisting them introduce the technique of thermometric titrimetry to the marketplace in the shape of their new thermometric titration system Titrotherm. So yes, this blog does have a commercial aspect to it, but I am a professional chemist and I do take the responsibilities that go with that seriously. That means that I will only make claims which can be backed up by published literature; either in the shape of application notes published by Metrohm or published elsewhere in scientific literature.
