General
2.
Instrumental Analysis
o The Chemistry Hypermedia
Project at Virginia Tech has prepared an extensive set of on-line tutorials
which cover all aspects of instrumental analysis.
o X-ray
spectroscopy with alpha particle excitation has been used on the Mars
Pathfinder Mission. The striking results are presented at a NASA site. Details on the
instrumentation are provided by a University
of Chicago site.
o There are
numerous articles in Spectroscopy
Magazine that deal with the analytical aspects of spectroscopy. These
articles are available on-line.
o The Back to Basics feature of Research and
Development Magazine includes useful discussions of instrumentation. Click
on the Back to Basics ikon.
o Zoltan Nay at Case
Western University have developed the Electrochemical Science and Technology
Resource, a rich collection of data and links relating to electrochemistry.
3.
Techniques and Data
o Chromatography Forum , a service
of LC-GC Magazine, is a message board for raising questions on troubleshooting.
The page includes the responses to questions presented to the forum.
o Consult the
Web version of LC-GC Magazine
for information and informative articles dealing with all aspects of
chromatography.
o The Radiocarbon Lab at the University of
Waikato in New Zealand maintains an informative Web page devoted to carbon-14
dating.
o The Prowl WWW site at Rockefeller is
dedicated to mass spectrometry of proteins.
o The i-mass Web site has
feature articles on mass spectrometry as well as links to useful tools
o Inorganic
Ventures is a manufacturer of certified reference materials. Their Web page
contains useful information on methods for trace analysis. Consult their Analytical Periodic
Table and library of
articles for starters in your search of their site.
o NEMI (The National Environmental Methods Index)
is a database of methods for environmental monitoring. In some cases, the full
protocol for the analysis of a substance is provided.
o NMAM, the NIOSH Manual of
Analytical Methods, provides an extensive collection of protocols for the
analysis of a wide variety of substances.
o An EPA site
is devoted to Analytical
Methods for Safe Drinking Water.
Another EPA site with analytical protocols provide an on-line access to the SW-846 manual.
o The Analytical Sciences Digital Library (ASDL
Library) is a peer-reviewed digital collection of analytical methods and
applications. Teaching resources are also provided.
o Anders
Nielsen hosts The pH Scale, a set of links
to essays on pH, ionic strength, and pH calculations.
o The Energy
Resources Program of the USGS maintains EGDB, the Energy Geochemistry
Database, which is a compendium of analytical data on a variety of samples such
as natural gas, petroleum, and rocks.
A wide range of methods were used to generate the data.
