5.0 out of 5 stars Loads of important information all in one book., April 8, 1999
By A Customer
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.

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