Series Description

This 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, the Clinical Chemistry Division files mainly document the activities of several bodies that were either formed or placed under the Clinical Chemistry Division’s oversight. The bodies represented in this series include the division’s Committee, the Commission on Quantities and Units, and the Commission on Toxicology. A few files regarding dissolved subcommittees formerly under the Clinical Chemistry Division’s oversight are also present here.

Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials found in the Clinical Chemistry Division files. Reprints are preserved in this series as well.
