I worked in the Biochemistry Department at Monklands Hospital in Airdrie, Scotland,for 30 years and I was a Consultant Clinical Scientist and Associate Clinical Director for the Lanarkshire Laboratories when I retired in 2007 - I continued to work on a part-time basis, mainly at Hairmyres for a further 18 months.
The site as originally designed by David showed this picture with the caption "I don't know what it's of but it looks impressive".
It is the HITACHI ELECSYS 20/10 © immunoassay analyser and, as you can see, we had two of them at that time (replaced during the summer of 2002).
My CV will give you more information about me, but you're more likely to find the story of the development of Clinical Biochemistry in Scotland more interesting.
