A Handbook of Laboratory Solutions

Contents: Foreword. 1. Solutions basic definitions. 2. Solutions handling techniques. 3. Solutions for titrations. 4. Bench solutions. 5. Indicators. 6. Organic reagents and others used in qualitative analysis. 7. Reagents used in organic chemistry. 8. Biochemical solutions and reagents. 9. Solutions in histology. 10. Physiological salines and culture solutions. 11. Miscellaneous solutions. Appendices. Bibliography. Index.

The book provides a concise and handy reference guide to the numerous recipes for the making up of chemical solutions used in laboratories. It is intended for the laboratory worker in industry and in research as well as in teaching institutions. The majority of bench solution are common to chemistry, biology and other laboratories. To avoid duplication, the reader is cross-referred from one section to another, for instructions on the making up of such solutions.

The book has been divided into chapters in which preparation of one particular use, or related uses are grouped together alphabetically. Where appropriate the uses of the solution are stated and cross-reference made. The comprehensive index includes both the names and uses of the solutions covered, and a list of further references is provided.
