Beaty Since receiving his Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the University of Missouri- Rolla, Richard Beaty has maintained an increasing involvement in the field of laboratory instrumentation and computerization. In 1972, he joined Perkin-Elmer, where he held a variety of technical support and marketing positions in atomic spectroscopy. In 1986, he founded Telecation Associates, a consulting company whose mission was to provide formalized training and problem solving for the analytical laboratory. He later became President and Chief Executive Officer of Telecation, Inc., a company providing PC-based software for laboratory automat- ion and computerization. Jack D. Kerber Jack Kerber is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has been actively involved with atomic spectrometry since 1963. In 1965 he became Perkin-Elmer’s first field Product Specialist in atomic absorption, supporting ana- lysts in the western United States and Canada. Since relocating to Perkin-Elmer’s corporate headquarters in 1969, he has held a variety of marketing support and sales and product management positions.
