General Lab Techniques

The LibreTexts platform provides a comprehensive number of general chemistry lab techniques. More procedural details on other types of laboratory methods like acid-base extraction, distillation, and filtration, to mention but a few, are also presented in the guide. Usage procedures on common lab equipment, including burets, pipettes, desiccators, and balances, have been covered as well. This resource uses the required basic skills and safety precautions necessary to carry out experiments with minimal mistakes in the shortest time possible. It goes further by including some more specialized techniques, such as rotary evaporation, thin layer chromatography, and vacuum filtration, so it can truly be called the most versatile and accessible guide to general laboratory work in chemistry and beyond.
