Scientific Apparatus Makers Association 1140 Coimecticut Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20036 Standards for analytical instmments, laboratory apparatus, measurement and test instmments, nuclear instmments, optical instmments, process measurement and control, and scientific laboratory furniture and equipment (see Analytical methods). 

ISA) and from the Scientific Apparatus Makers Association [now Measurement, Control, and Automation Association (MCAA)], both of which are updated periodically. An appreciation of accuracy and repeatability is especially important. Some applications depend on the accuracy of the instrument, but other applications depend on repeatability. Excellent accuracy implies excellent repeatability however, an instrument can have poor accuracy but excellent repeatability. In some applications, this is acceptable, as discussed below. 

The Scientific Apparatus Makers Association, whose main office is in Chicago, collects data on sales, foreign trade, foreign tariffs, foreign markets, new products, and labor in the fields of scientific instruments, laboratory apparatus, and reagent chemicals. This information is conditionally available to nonmembers. 

Before performing any experimental work with either a flame (emission) photometer or an atomic absorption spectrophotometer the following guidelines on safety practices must be studied. These recommendations are a summary of the code of practice recommended by the Scientific Apparatus Makers Association (SAMA) of USA. 

Several instrumental parameters need to be evaluated when unattended operation is proposed for a particular instrument. The definitions that follow have been accepted by the Scientific Apparatus Makers Association (SAMA) [3], and endorsed by the Instrument Society of America (ISA).

In addition to receiving the John R. Kuebler Award of Alpha Chi Sigma, Professor Bailar has also received the American Chemical Society Award in Chemical Education sponsored by the Scientific Apparatus Makers Association (1964), the Priestley Medal of the American Chemical Society (1964), the Francis P. Dwyer Medal of the Chemical Society of New South Wales (1965), the Alfred Werner Gold Medal of the Swiss Chemical Society (1966), and the Synthetic Chemical Manufacturers Association Award in the Teaching of Chemistry (1968), and has also received Honorary Membership in Phi Lambda Upsilon—the national honorary chemistry fraternity (1959).
