4.0 out of 5 stars Lab Ref review, March 9, 2006

Lab Geek "Geneus" (Stony Brook, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lab Ref, Volume 1: A Handbook of Recipes, Reagents, and Other Reference Tools for Use at the Bench (Handbooks) (Spiral-bound)

This book is a great aid for the bench. It enables you to quickly find recipes for reagents used often, without the hassle of digging through volumes of more advanced manuals, and also provides tips that may be unavailable in such advanced manuals. It's also handy for the lab amateur, providing information as basic as how to prepare 1M stock solutions, and goes as far as telling you how to aliquot and store reagents when necessary! I highly recommend this book, as I've made good use of it in the short time since I purchased it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as advertised..., October 30, 2006

This is NOT a general chemistry lab reference book. It IS a biochemistry reference book. If you need a lab reference for general chemistry you need to look for something else.
