CLEVER PERSON'S QUIZ
Question:
How may boric acid (crystalline solid, melting point 171°C) be made volatile at room temperature?
The answer to this will be in the next edition of the Rowe Scientific newsletter.
Did you know the answer to the last quiz question?
What medical condition may require medication using explosive or cyanide compounds?
Answer:
High blood pressure may be treated by nitrovasodilators, drugs that donate nitric oxide by various mechanisms. This nitric oxide may be administered from (explosive) nitric esters such as nitroglycerin or diethyleneglycol dinitrate or from sodium nitroprusside (sodium nitroferricyanide).

In Olivia’s words:
“My name is Olivia Pitt, I am a marine scientist, currently studying skeletochronological analysis as part of honours research at Southern Cross University.
I developed a passion for marine turtles and as that passion exceeded so did the need to understand their life histories.
We are in the process of using advanced technology (Laser Ablation, Induction-Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) on sea turtle humerus bones, looking at trace elements that reflect environmental factors over periods of time which in turn, may reveal the age of the sea turtles.
This study has opened up a whole new love of environmental chemistry that is exciting, raw and unique. I am in a constant state of excitement whenever I walk into the lab or look at results.
Thank you to Rowe Scientific for providing me with the Rising Stars Scholarship. It is greatly appreciated!”
Well done Olivia, from all the national staff of Rowe Scientific Pty Ltd.

Mr Thomas Wood
In Thomas' words;
“I’d like to express my gratitude to Rowe Scientific for their contribution to the SCMB Awards.
It is extremely encouraging to be recognised in the discipline which I enjoy so much. I have always found chemistry to be awe inspiring. A set of rules which can be learned and utilised to manipulate the very fabric of matter. The impact of chemistry on the world today is profound, from the production of petrol for our cars, to the manufacture of drugs which cure our diseases.
Chemistry is an extraordinary set of tools which have enabled for so much progress, and which I find so exciting because it truly is modern day magic.”
Thanks, Tom Wood

Ms Georgina Roberts
In Georgina’s words;
“Chemistry has fascinated me since my very first class on atomic structure at school, and I knew I wanted to explore the subject further to help understand the make-up of the universe around me.
My favourite part of my chemistry degree was the lab work, because it still amazes me that we can synthesise incredibly complex compounds using relatively basic processes.
I am particularly interested in the applications of chemistry in neurology both diagnostically and therapeutically, and I plan to pursue research in this field."
Kind regards,
Georgina Roberts
(UQ Rowe Scientific Chemistry Award – 3rd Year Laboratory Prize)
Congratulations Georgina and Tom, from all the staff of Rowe Scientific nationally.

NEW SOUTH WALES
Dear Clients,
In line with our commitment to offer a consistently high level of service to our growing customer base Rowe Scientific has added two new members to our customer service team in NSW.
Hayden Hewitt joined the team in mid July after completing a Master's Degree in Medical and Health Sciences at the University of Wollongong, and Kazi Hoque joined the team at the start of September. Kazi graduated from Macquarie University with a Bachelor of Medical Science degree in 2015 and worked with Australian Laboratory Services for several years in various roles before joining Rowe Scientific.
In addition to the new recruits, other highlights for Rowe Scientific include our first ever participation in ComBio, which is the major Australian Society for Biochemistry and Microbiology (ASBMB) conference held annually. The venue this year is the new International Convention Centre in Darling Harbour from September 23th to 26th inclusive.
Rowe Scientific will also exhibit at the NSW Histology Conference scheduled for the Rooty Hill RSL Club from October 5th to 7th inclusive. We look forward to meeting many of our customers during the course of the two exhibitions.
All the best from:
Allan, Hayden, John, Kathryn, Kazi, Rodney and Troy.

QUEENSLAND
Dear Clients,
We have been busy moving into our new premises at 55 Westgate Street WACOL 4076.
Our warehouse has more than double the capacity of our previous premises at Sumner, which will allow us to stock more contract lines to ensure we meet delivery deadlines.
The move was a great success with no down time in our communication systems thanks to all of the preparatory work carried out by our MD, CEO & CFO before and during our move to Wacol.
Now that we have plenty of room our team is eager to provide you with improved service as we adjust to our new surroundings.
This month we have advertised some great specials under bench safety storage cabinets, products from the Velp stirring range and Nordic Laboratory low & ultra low temperature freezers which represent excellent savings for your lab. Please call us, we are here to help you.
Cheers from the Queensland team:
Yvonne, Martin, Brian, Sean, Josephine, Leon, Steve, Adam, Hyewon, Colin and Jacob.

As this goes out to the market, winter will be at its end and spring will be upon us, my nose and eyes go out to all my fellow hay fever sufferers!
We are still out and about exhibiting at various locations around Adelaide, so please contact your account sales representative to keep you informed as to when we are exhibiting products at a location near you!
Our recent Interwinery and Analysis Group (IWAG) and Water Industry Operators Association Australia (WIOA) exhibitions were a great success and we'd like to thank our clients who stopped by and said hello. Daniel and I attended the Vintessential laboratories in August to obtain hands-on training and experience with their Chemwell Discrete analysers. We will be talking to all of our winery clients about these on our future visits. Daniel and Steve also had a busy month visiting clients in the Northern Territory which was a great opportunity to meet face to face .
We have a brand new Laboratory Safety Catalogue that will be distributed to you shortly by your account manager. In the meantime please feel free to download the PDF from our website.

VICTORIA & TASMANIA
Dear Clients
Another footy season almost gone – are you all “Tigered out” yet? It is now time to get out the bat and ball, absorb the sunshine and reclaim the Aussie supremacy on the cricket fields of this planet. We should be enlisting Shane Warne to whip some enthusiasm and lead a Cricket revolution starting right here in Victoria.
What a busy year it has been. Thanks to our Victoria and Tasmania clients for all your inquiries and support. To all our new university customers, we have a string of morning teas scheduled over the next couple of months so if you have not met Hoa yet, I’m sure you’ll meet him over a cup of tea soon.
We exhibited at the Water Industry Operators Association Australia (WIOA) conference in Bendigo on the 5th & 6th of September and had the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting people within the Water industry. As this newsletter is currently being sent out, we will be exhibiting at the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST) conference at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on the 11th and 12th of September.
You should have received a new Laboratory Safety Catalogue in the mail – we have also sent out some sample seal and labeling packages to our relevant clients. To minimise junk mail we have only sent these out to targeted addresses, so if you are interested in any of the above, but have not received the literature, please let us know, we will send a copy to you immediately.
From your team in Victoria:
Garry, Nic, Mango, Amanda, Adam, Brian and Christine and Hoa.
