Customer Reviews

A very good book.

Contains a lot of good practical information and a good addition to any chemistry library. Not perfect however, some information is incomplete or a little dated. Calomel reference electrodes are mentioned but not Ag/AgCl for example.

Industry Standard

This book is invaluable for training of inexperienced lab techs and for reference for more experienced ones. Indespensable.

Every Chemist should have one of these!

This is a great book to own. Every time I needed to find something I opened this book and it was there for me. It is very clearly written and contains lots of helpful info. A big Thanks to Dr. Ballinger :-)

Loads of important information all in one book.

This book provides me with technical information commonly needed in a laboratory environment. It seems to boil down many references all into one easy to read book. The index is fantastic, you can find anything in the book quickly and easily. This is usually a problem with most reference books, but not with this one.
