As a retired chemical technologist with 43 years of experience leading a team and heading an immunological laboratory specialized in immunoglobulins and complement, I have a passion for development and automation. My career involved developing RIA, ELISA, and nephelometry assays. The Logit and PLA Excel worksheets are still maintained.
My journey in automation began with the HP9815 RPN calculator, progressing to the Acorn BBC Micro, and then to Lattice and Borland C on MS-DOS/Windows OS, including creating small LIMS with MS Office Visual Basic applications.
