For the past year Strike had been in consultation with contract labs over the making of phenylisopropyl alcohols using sulfuric acid and allylbenzenes (don t ask). The lab owners would listen patiently as Strike primitively described how and why an OH should go on the beta carbon. And without exception, the lab owners would point out to Strike that the best way to get an OH on the beta carbon would be to put a Br there first. But Strike don t wanna put a Br there first Strike would say, Strike wants the OH put on directly using sulfuric acid " The lab guys had to do what Strike said because Strike was holding all the money (...a fool and her money etc.). But out of curiosity Strike asked how they would get that Br on the beta carbon. Every one of them said it was simply a matter of using the 48% HBr in acetic acid. They even showed Strike their stock solutions (usually from Aldrich or Fisher).

Acting as a consultant can result in new methods, techniques or tools producing more efficient or safer processing of the toll. In some cases, the toller may be the expert in the process or equipment thus consulting to their client company to help them gain expertise for contracting future tolls. 

An example would be where the consultant had already invited competitive quotations for supplying air-handling units so that he could design a particular make into the system and ensure that his client received the best value for money. The bidder would include in his bid, either separately shown or in the body of his figures, a sum to cover profit and on-cost in handling the equipment. The contractor appointed would be responsible for organizing delivery and would give a warranty on the equipment, in accordance with the contract. This aspect is amplified in Section 8.20. 

The contractor is under a duty in contract to provide and install plant which is of merchantable quality. There is no duty on the client to ensure how the contractor carries out those duties, although his client can sue the consulting engineer in negligence, if he is not diligent in detecting faulty workmanship, such that he suffers loss as a result. 

Interim payments on the contract follow a valuation of the work done. Valuations are normally carried out by the plant engineer, the quantity surveyor, the architect or the consulting engineer and, in the light of recent case law, should be assessed very carefully. 

At the beginning of the contract, it will be known to the client and his consulting engineer how much money is budgeted for the project. The contractor will be aware of the contract value, of course, and he will know of any contingency sums that have not yet been allocated. 

The essence of a plant engineering contract will be that the plant actually performs to the criteria laid down in the design, and this must be established before a Practical Completion Certificate is even considered. Tests will need to be made to the plant, and then it will be commissioned by the contractor and left in a condition whereby it can be operated as specified. When the work within the contract is complete, a certificate should be issued by the client (or employer) to the contractor. The architect or consulting engineer acting as agent normally performs this duty. 

The work of commissioning must be under the control of a single competent authority, whether it be the main contractor, a consultant or the user. Since this authority must accept the installation, it should be so stated in the original contract. Other specialists may...

The terminology used in this Standard is slightly different from the others in that it is appropriate for the particular discipline. For example, the term, referral laboratories in paragraph 4.5 of ISO 15189 is used in a slightly different sense to the comparable clause in ISO/IEC 17025. Included in this section are consultants who may provide a second opinion. If the referral laboratory is an external laboratory, to which samples are submitted for a supplementary or confirmatory examination procedure and report, it is much the same as a contract laboratory in ISO/IEC 17025. There is an extra Annex in this Standard which covers the ethics applicable to laboratory medicine.

In the last decade, for many toxicologists the on-line literature search has changed from an occasional, sporadic activity to a semicontinuous need. Usually, nontoxicology-related search capabilities are already in place in many companies. Therefore, all that is needed is to expand the information source to include some of the data bases that cover the types of toxicology information one desires. However, if no capabilities exist within an organization, one can approach a university, consultant, or a private contract laboratory and utilize their on-line system at a reasonable rate. It is even possible to access most of these sources from home using a personal computer. The major available on-line data bases are described in the following.

A recent census of a large number of these small contracting groups listed more than 100 different product development fxmctions. Many of these entities refer to themselves as CROs, but they are often small consultancies that offer a wide variety of services. Careful assessment of these service providers is necessary, as they may have a limited financial depth and operational capacity. On the plus side their fees usually are priced in the con-sulhng range, as they have low overhead, and they may provide the customer with a high degree of expert, personalized service.
