An Introduction to Laboratory Automation (Chemical Analysis) Book

Laboratory Health and Safety Handbook A Guide for the Preparation of a Chemical Hygiene Plan R. Scott Stricoff and Douglas B. Walters This is the first guide to health and safety plan procedures which allows professionals to build and implement a program strictly within OSHA's new laboratory use of toxic substances standard. Several chapters focus on the "management system" elements of a safety program: operating procedures, documentation, emergency planning, and training. There is also timely coverage of personal exposure evaluation and protection issues, as well as laboratory hazards ranging from chemical incompatibilities and biohazards to radiation and controlled substances.1990 (0 471-61756-3) 336 pp. Chemical Instrumentation A Systematic Approach Third Edition Howard A. Strobel and William R. Heineman Examined here is the full breadth of instrumentation and techniques integral to this fascinating science: potentiometry and emission spectrometry; the process of assembling instruments from modules; liquid chromatographs and mass spectrometers; and the extraction of chemical information from instrument signals. New chapters in the updated Third Edition include a look at microprocessors and microcomputers; statistical control of measurement quality; quantifying measurements and extracting information; X-ray fluorescence spectrometry; surface spectrometric techniques; and high-performance liquid chromatography. 1989 (0 471-61223-5) 1,210 pp. Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory George Lunn and Eric B. Sansone Compiled here, as never before in a single volume, are tested and validated procedures for the destruction of hazardous laboratory chemicals. Catalogued by chemical—from acid halides to thioguanine—are practical details for the destruction of each chemical and an analysis of residues. Many of the procedures have been verified by international collaborative studies and tested for the mutagenic quality of the reaction mixtures. The text includes timely new information on dealing with spills—with special coverage of wipe solvents, critical to the cleanup process. 1990 (0 471-51063-7) 271 pp. Read More
