DYK for Tina Brower-Thomas

[edit]

On 1 May 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tina Brower-Thomas, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that quantum materials researcher Tina Brower-Thomas's attempts at chemistry as a youth led to her concoctions eating holes into her coat? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tina Brower-Thomas. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Tina Brower-Thomas), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Finnigan did not develop the first GCMS

[edit]

I have seen a number of references to Bob Finnegan having developed the first GCMS. He did not; Finnigan's quadrupole MS was certainly a major advance in the technology. However Ray Scott's lab at Unilever in UK had, in 1966 and possibly a year or two earlier, a AEI MS9 magnetic sector MS hooked to a Pye 104 (??) GC. I know because I worked on it from December 1966 to about September 1967. Ray Scott (probably better known as RPW Scott) was a pioneer in early GC and GCMS. He was lab director - also in the lab was Tony James as in James and Martin who wrote the very first GC paper in 1952. Tony James taught me GC which is something (in my defense I was 17) I did not fully appreciate at the time. Cross Reference (talk) 03:08, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I should add that I sent this to your talk page since your name was on Template:Did you know nominations/Robert E. Finnigan - if it should more appropriately be sent to someone else I'd be grateful if you could let me know. FYI my background is in environmental chemistry especially trace metals and lab management, but I have a good grounding in GC and MS. Cross Reference (talk) 03:13, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cross Reference: User:Mary Mark Ockerbloom wrote the article, I just reviewed it. It looks like the article says Finnigan designed the first commercial GC/MS, so a single laboratory setup wouldn't make this untrue. Mary might know more. John P.
