Awards

Without this award, DOC-Labor would probably not exist. It made us believe that there must be some interest in this field of research.

In the first year of DOC-Labor almost no orders came in analytical services. The time was used to write a proposal to Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) to turn LC-OCD into a marketable product. Without this funding, DOC-Labor would only be a service lab and not a manufacturer of LC-OCD.

This award covered an appealing amount of money and a 1-year subscription to Journal Nature. It is practically unknown as it was given only once – the issuing company merged in the following year and the award was suspended.

This award came from a presentation in the U.S. where DOC-LABOR is almost unknown. Well remembered are the scrutinising questions from people in the audience which – as found out later – were part of the price committee.
