The Analytical Biosciences Group was formed in 1945 as the Biological Methods Group: at that time, a range of novel pharmaceutical products (such as penicillins) were first becoming available for clinincal use, but the potency of these materials could not be determined by conventional chemical methods. The new Group sought to act as a forum for the expert discussion of the bioassays necessary to characterise these products and to assure their quality. Thus the Group has always had a strong involvement with the pharmaceutical industry and scientists involved in drug regulation. The past 50 years have seen a revolution in our ability to quantify and characterise biologically-derived and biologically-active materials. The remit of the Group has therefore broadened to encompass all aspects of analysis as applied to such molecules - this was reflected by the Group's recent change of name. The Group's committee organises approximately four meetings per year, covering subjects such as 'Bioactive Residue Analysis in the Next Millenium', 'Requirements for Pharmaceutical Water' and 'The Measurement and Application of Stable Isotopes'.
Analytical & Life Science Systems Association (ALSSA)
225 Reinekers Lane, Suite 625
Alexandria, VA 22314-2875
Tel: 703.836.1360
Fax: 703.836.6644
ALSSA's members are the leading producers of instruments and systems including, consumables, reagents, and informatics used for analysis and measurement in chemistry applications and the life sciences. Their products enable research and new drug discovery, and advance new product development in many industries including pharmaceuticals, life science, and chemicals.
Association for Laboratory Automation (ALA)
http://www.labautomation.org/
The Association for Laboratory Automation (ALA) was created to advance the worldwide utilization of automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence in order to improve the quality, efficiency, and relevance of laboratory analysis. The ALA provides a focal point for all activities involving laboratory automation and, through the Journal of the Association for Laboratory Automation (JALA), keeps its members informed of the latest developments and products in laboratory automation, provides a forum for the newest ideas in the field and serves as a link between laboratories and industry. In addition, the ALA plays an active role in promoting the development of new automation technology by funding research and assisting innovative engineers in commercializing their inventions.
The Clinical Ligand Assay Society (CLAS) New England Chapter
http://www.clasnewengland.org
The CLAS New England Chapter provides the ideal forum for focusing and synergising the interests of multi-disciplinary groups toward the development and improvement of ligand assay technology and test interpretation. We provide literature, scientific meetings, reference material, hands on workshops, academic, clinical and industry contacts to help you do your job better.

Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC)
481 North Frederick Avenue Suite 500
Gaithersburg, Maryland 20877

In the 21st Century AOAC INTERNATIONAL is committed to be a proactive, worldwide provider and facilitator in the development, use, and harmonization of validated analytical methods and laboratory quality assurance programs and services. Also, to serve as the primary resource for timely knowledge exchange, networking, and high-quality laboratory information for its members. To meet these goals, AOAC is focusing very closely on streamlining its methods review process and providing new methods in areas of increasing international interest, such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and nutriceuticals. The explosion of international accreditation as a requirement for participation in the global marketplace has given AOAC INTERNATIONAL an opportunity to seize a leadership role in developing criteria for laboratory accreditation. Members of the AOAC Laboratory Accreditation Criteria Committee are working hard to provide laboratory managers with the tools they need to meet ISO 17025 requirements. The AOAC Laboratory Proficiency Testing Program is also playing a key role by providing laboratories with a means for proving the accuracy and reliability of their test results. In 2000, AOAC established an Office of International Activities at headquarters and is in the planning stages of opening a European Office in The Netherlands. Internationally, members are also served by a growing number of AOAC Sections. In addition to eleven Sections based in North America, AOAC Sections have also been formed in Europe, Latin America, Japan, and, most recently, China. The recent launch of a new and expanded AOAC INTERNATIONAL website is the first step in providing a one-stop resource for analytical scientists around the world. The goal is to provide a "portal" to all online information of interest to AOAC members.
