“I couldn’t be more proud of Larry’s work at ASTM, which has spanned decades and has made an incredible impact on Metrohm, analytical chemistry and the young chemists he’s mentored throughout the years”, says Ed Colihan, President and CEO of Metrohm USA. "I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Larry for this honor”.
