Practical Laboratory Skills on CD-Rom

These CD-ROMs give clear, step by step practical instructions on best practice in the laboratory, with extensive use of real examples. The first covers the basic skills required by all analysts, and many others who are making measurements in chemical and similar laboratories. Techniques include: weighing techniques, the use of pipettes and burettes, titration, and handling and treatment of samples. The second covers additional skills such as handling samples, drying and ashing, solvent extraction and rotary evaporation. Links to informative websites are also included. (The material in these CD-ROMs was previously published as the videos Basic Laboratory Skills and Further Laboratory Skills.) A series of five Practical Laboratory Skills Training Guides has also been produced. Ideal as an accompaniment to the CD-ROMs, the titles are: Measurement of Mass, Measurement of Volume, Measurement of pH, High Performance Liquid Chromatography, and Gas Chromatography. The guides are written by experienced scientists and include minimal theory, plenty of practical exercises in order to assess competence, and trouble shooting information. They are intended for laboratory technicians in industry, students at university or anyone needing a clear, concise and reliable guide to analytical procedures.
