Anayltical Techniques

The following tools will provide an overview of standard laboratory techniques. Also consider using chemistry encyclopedias for additional explanations of techniques and procedures.

Encyclopedia of analytical chemistry : applications, theory, and instrumentation

edited by R.A. Meyers. Chichester. New York : Wiley, 2000. 15 vols.

COVERAGE: The major encyclopedia covering analytical chemistry.
ENTRIES IN THIS COLLECTION INCLUDE: Discussions of the topic, tables and diagrams in appropriate, and short bibliographies.
YOU CAN SEARCH FOR DATA ON SPECIFIC COMPOUNDS BASED ON: Entries are arranged in alphabetical order within two categories: Applications, Theory and Instrumentation.
WHY WOULD I USE THIS? This is a good resource to use if you are looking for a description of an analytical technique or for methods of analyzing a particular type of substance.
AVAILABILITY: PRINT -- QD71.5 E52X 2000 (LC)+ KLINE, Reference

Encyclopedia of Analytical Science

COVERAGE: entries are classified into three broad areas: those covering techniques (e.g. spot test, mass spectrometry, chemometrics), field or material of application (e.g. asbestos, pharmaceuticals and drugs, pigments and dyestuffs, forensic science), and analytes (e.g. aluminum, cholesterol, nucleic acids). There are also articles on data handling and quality, safety, laboratory equipment and design, and training.
ENTRIES IN THIS COLLECTION INCLUDE: Discussions of the topic, tables and diagrams in appropriate, and short bibliographies.
YOU CAN SEARCH FOR DATA ON SPECIFIC COMPOUNDS BASED ON: Entries are arranged in alphabetical order.
WHY WOULD I USE THIS? This is a good resource to use if you are looking for a description of an analytical technique or for methods of analyzing a particular type of substance.
AVAILABILITY: PRINT -- Kline Science Library QD71.5 E53x 1995

Techniques of Chemistry

COVERAGE: in-depth information on techniques used in chemical analysis
ENTRIES IN THIS COLLECTION INCLUDE: each volume in this series contains articles on various aspects of an analytical technique. These articles explains the theory behind the technique and what type of information can be gathered by employing the technique.
WHY WOULD I USE THIS? This series provides information that allows users to enrich their understand of a variety of techniques used in chemistry (examples include: laser techniques in chemistry, Investigation of rates and mechanisms of reactions, elucidation of organic structures by physical and chemical methods)
AVAILABILITY: PRINT - Kline Science Library QD1 T43
