Company
Profile
In today’s world of downsizing, consolidation and mergers,
outsourcing services is becoming the accepted way of completing projects at a cost-effective price. Whether it’s analytical services,
information technology, marketing communications, human resources, accounting or training
personnel, outsourcing for many organizations has been a natural progression,
because it is an opportunity to add resources without having to hire someone on
a full-time basis. Also many companies don’t have the infrastructure to
address the issues internally or they might just want someone for a short-term
project who has a particular expertise that they are lacking.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the analytical and scientific communities.
Many organizations are now using analytical services supplied by a third party,
so they don’t have to go through the expense of setting up their own
analytical laboratory. And even if they do have their own laboratory, they might
need to hire outside consultants to ensure that their staff understand the
application problem and are fully trained to run some of the more complex
analytical instrumentation in their laboratory.
Besides the practical side of running a laboratory, many organizations
like research institutions, contract laboratories, hospitals, universities,
federal departments, biotechnology and instrumentation companies, need to
market their services and products to the marketplace. If the organization doesn’t
have any in-house marketing and writing expertise, the traditional approach has been to use
advertising agencies, marketing groups or graphic designers who have no feel for
the technical nature of a project. Besides the problem of trying to convey
fairly complex scientific facts to non-technical people, the cost of these projects can often consume an
organization’s marketing budget.
In addition, scientific journals and trade magazines need to convey the latest
technology to their readers. Unfortunately, many scientific publishing
organizations do not have the in-house expertise to write about complex subject
matter. For this reason, they traditionally have to rely on scientific
institutions and organizations for contributions, which tend to be
biased and more commercial in nature.
No one understands these issues better than SCIENTIFIC
WRITING
SOLUTIONS. It’s principal consultant,
Robert Thomas, has 20 years experience in applications, product development,
sales marketing and technical writing for the Inorganic business division of a major analytical
instrument company, 12 years experience as an analytical chemist and 10 years as
a freelance science writer. This has
given him an in-depth knowledge of trace element techniques, like AA, ICP-OES
and ICP-MS and a detailed understanding of how the analytical community utilizes
these techniques to solve their problems. He has also spent much of that time
writing about the real-world applicability of these techniques. His publications in the
magazines/journals, ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY, TODAY’S CHEMIST AT WORK,
SPECTROSCOPY, MICRO, and SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING exemplifies his knowledge on this subject.
He has broadened his writing scope to other subject matter in
the life sciences and biotechnology arenas as exemplified by his articles in MODERN DRUG
DISCOVERY, PHARMAGENOMICS and SPECTROSCOPY. More recently he has been
seen in the prestigious petrochemical/industrial magazines, HYDROCARBON
PROCESSING, PRACTICING OIL ANALYSIS, LASER FOCUS WORLD and PLANT ENGINEERING.
And he recently published his second textbook entitled,
Practical Guide to ICP-MS: A Tutorial for
Beginners.
He also
has significant expertise in the writing, development and production of
collateral material, including brochures, newsletters, presentation material,
customer testimonials, CD
ROMs, direct mail pieces and website design.
This
level of expertise acquired over 30 years is now available to the analytical and
scientific communities. Some of the many services offered by SCIENTIFIC
