Hello, and welcome to the inaugural issue of The FemtoGram - ESA Biosciences' newest vehicle to keep you apprised of the latest developments in electrochemical detection (ECD) with "news you can use", for example:

• ECD Innovations – A review of new products and/or innovative applications useful in ECD
• In the Lab – learn directly from your peers how they have implemented ECD in their labs through informative customer interviews
• ESA Resources – Profiles of the people of ESA
• Ask Dr. Bruce – A Q&A with one of our expert scientists answering common ECD issues
• Knowledge Links – Technical information from ESA and where to go to get it

At ESA, we're proud that we've become a leader in ECD. And we are committed to earning our reputation for quality, service, and applications expertise each and every day. To that end, we've listened closely to customers in developing a series of high-performance electrochemical-detection solutions optimized specifically for the toughest applications challenges in neuroscience, oxidative metabolism, clinical diagnostics, and general analytical chemistry – yours!

We plan to issue The Femtogram periodically throughout the year. Whether you are looking for innovative ideas, or have routine ECD questions, we hope you'll find the answers you are looking for here. Please send us your feedback and your questions - this is your newsletter - help us make it work for you! E-mail thefemtogram@esainc.com, or visit www.esainc.com for more information.

Until next issue, Your Partners in ECD at ESA Biosciences Best Regards, Darwin Asa, PhD Marketing Director ESA Biosciences Inc.
