We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Organic Chemistry", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Appointments round-up, November 2007 from SPECIAL REPORT by the Editor, which we summarised at the time by saying "A collection of movers and shakers who have changed position recently in the laboratory sector, part one of a new series of reports". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Resins and reagents for solid phase chemistry from Activotec: "Activotec has been appointed by Matrix Innovation (Quebec, Canada) as European distributor for its range of high performance resins and supported reagents for solid phase peptide and organic chemistry".
 
In December 2006, we covered the news from MeasureNet Technology concerning its MeasureNet - take a look at MeasureNet chosen by Centenary College which says: "The Chemistry Department of Centenary College of Louisiana (USA) has chosen MeasureNet for electronic data acquisition for multiple areas of its laboratory programme".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Sigma-Aldrich, 2007/2008 Fluka/Riedel-de Haen catalogue, as well as New CEO for Fusion Antibodies from Fusion Antibodies, and Eskitis enhanced by flexible compound processing from TTP LabTech.
