Sub-series Description

This sub-series contains the files of IUPAC’s Clinical Chemistry Division. Established in 1979, it concerned itself with matters regarding clinical chemistry. In 1997, the Clinical Chemistry Division merged with the Medicinal Chemistry Section to form the Chemistry and Human Health Division.

Arranged in its original order by date, the Clinical Chemistry Division files document the activities of the Commission on Automation and Clinical Chemical Techniques, which operated under the Clinical Chemistry Division’s oversight.

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials found the Clinical Chemistry Division files. A variety of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, reports and minutes are preserved here as well.
