Developed by the ACS Committee on Analytical Reagents, this edition continues the tradition of providing detailed specifications and analytical procedures for approximately 450 laboratory reagents, while also updating some of the more complicated classical procedures for trace analysis and adding instrumental methods where possible. Also included is a new section of specifications for more than 400 standard-grade reference materials. Reagent Chemicals, 9th Edition, was published in book form in September 1999, with the specifications official from January 1, 2000. This Web edition duplicates the printed book. Overview Reagent Chemicals sets standards for the purity of reagent-grade chemicals and recommends the test methods for analyzing these chemicals.
Information is organized in the following sections.
General Directions and Procedures. Reagent Solutions and Volumetric Solutions. Throughout the Specifications sections, reference is made to reagent solutions and volumetric solutions. The preparation and limits of such solutions are described in these two sections. Specifications for Reagent Chemicals.
