Abstract
A MICROCHEMICAL CLUB is being formed by a number of scientific workers interested in the use and improvement of microchemical methods, for the purpose of developing interest in the science, pooling ideas, and subscribing to certain journals. The new technique of microchemistry, with which the names of Profs. Behrens, Emich and Pregl are particularly associated, has rapidly established itself as a valuable tool for research, and recognition of the importance of microchemistry led to the award of the Nobel prize to Prof. Pregl in 1923. The methods have been of inestimable value in noted researches in many fields of science. While microchemical methods are widely used in universities, research institutes and industrial laboratories on the Continent and in the United States, Great Britain has hitherto lagged behind. The importance of the new methods is now beginning to be realised in Great Britain, and the Microchemical Club hopes to foster the development of this new technique in pure chemistry, metallurgy, geology, biochemistry, medical science and other branches of scientific study. The secretary of the Club, Dr. M. Healey, Wellcome Physiological Research Laboratory, Beckenham, Kent, will be pleased to answer inquiries from anyone who is interested.
