This
text from MIT provides the student with in-depth explanations of the following
essential laboratory techniques in chemistry. These include transfer and
extraction techniques, purification of both solids (recrystallization) and
liquids (distillation), advanced methods including flash column chromatography
and protein assays. The book also addresses issues on the design of experiments
and the importance of error analysis and reproducibility. It is designed with
both students and professionals in mind and guides on the setup of experiments,
handling equipment, and result analysis. It puts so much emphasis on acquiring a
sound laboratory practice through safe and accurate techniques. This book is
very beneficial to any person who aims at sharpening their practice of the
laboratory and skills on chemical techniques.
This is a document by the National
Research Council that gives very comprehensive information on laboratory safety
and environmental health. It provides information on how to create a safe
laboratory environment. Some topics discussed include risk evaluation and
assessment, chemical management safety, and emergency preparedness. Issues in
laboratory hazards, proper methods for waste disposal, and legal compliance are
also covered in the book. It is a good reference book in developing a secure
laboratory setting, giving the essential practice regarding management of risks
and proper safety procedure while working with hazardous material. It is ideal
for practitioners, students, and laboratory managers who need to minimize the
events of accidents while ensuring the principles of safety in the laboratory.
