Attrep M., Kahn B. Radioanalytical Chemistry Experiments

Springer, 2008. — 167 p. — ISBN: 978-0-387-46914-0.The education of the radioanalytical chemist has two critical components: theory and practice. The textbook Radioanalytical Chemistry was designed to address the theory component of this education. This laboratory manual accompanies and complements that textbook. This manual provides a framework for the student to hone their laboratory skills, with emphasis on safety, research, experimental design, instrumentation and appropriate laboratory methods.Practice in Pipetting and Weighing Samples for Radioactivity Counting
