A fantastic little book for students enrolled in organic chem........2007-01-06
This small book was a requirement in my organic chemistry lab last year. Unfortunately, I think I'm the only one who actually read it. Had others cracked the binding a few times I imagine there would have been fewer exploding flasks and spilled beakers. This awesome little text explains (with humor) the best ways to set up apparatus for experiments, to avoid explosions, and to get in and out of the lab quickly with as few mistakes as possible. I'm happy to report that I never lost any glassware to an explosion, though I did lose a couple pieces to carelessness. Zubrick also covers basic distillation, separation, washing, and extraction techniques, as well as briefly covering spectroscopy. A very simple and helpful book for ochem undergrads.
Can't take Ochem lab w/o it!.......2006-09-12
This is a phenomenal book in which Mr. Zubrick brings down the complexities involved in Organic Chemistry Lab into terms that undergraduates can understand. Also, in something I've never seen done before, he adds humor to his writing. I actually enjoy reading this book, and get more out of it then any other lab text I've ever read. If you take Organic Chemistry Lab without it, you're doing yourself a pretty big diservice.
Worthwile.......2006-01-28
Zubrick's manual gives a comprehensive overview of fundamental lab methods. I've found it to be very useful on many ocassions. However, some of the explanations could be improved with discussion of the theory, especially the sections on chromatography. Even so, it's cheaper than other books and explains many techniques very well.
What have I done to you chemistry??.......2005-10-10
I bought the book because they said it was good for writing Lab Reports. But no, I can't, The book is so incomplete, he wastes space trying to make it funny and humorous. I'm not gonna write his jokes on my report. Yeah and remember if you didn't copy the whole lab manual on your notebook, you are dumb and you got the highest F.
great book.......2005-10-10
very helpful for organic chemistry lab, very clear directions and the author writes in a way geared towards students so it is funny
Book Description
Most widely used, established and respected reference manual for the organic chemistry laboratory. Incorporates new reactions and techniques now available to the organic chemist.

Vogel is the man.......2006-11-11
The new Vogel is not as detailed in basic techniques but does manage to cover basic processes in a way seldom seen in modern organic lab guides. I should be on the shelf of every serious organic and biochemist along with the Fieser & Fieser series "Reagents for Organic Chemistry".
The ultimate textbook on practical organic synthesis.......2004-07-27
It has the most trustworthy procedures for the synthesis of organic compounds with the underlying philosophy behind the reactions complete with the mechanism. Even briefly described procedures are easy to follow. An example in point is the Swern's oxidation. It also includes characterization of compounds using both chemical and spectroscopic methods thus covering the whole spectrum of practical organic chemistry. Almost all the other information to be required by an organic synthetic chemist in the laboratory is also included. I do not know of any other single book that can rival the Vogel. I, however, would very much like to see a moderately priced new edition.
good text, forbidding price.......2002-10-08
The book is very good for reference, yet it is too expensive for graduate students. I would also suggest taking $$$off, relative to March's and C&S's good text, this one is really forbidding.
The Bible for Organic Laboratory.......2000-09-13
I took an undergraduate course on advanced organic laboratory method and Vogel was meant to be an incredible reference and life-saver. The overwhelming size of the book might seem somewhat frightening yet the useful information is worth the size and money.
Pavia's "Introduction to Organic Laboratory Techniques" might seem to be a water-down version of Vogel. Vogel is extremely well-written and detailed in laboratory tecniques such as chromatography, distillation, HPLC, crystallization, extraction, etc. A chapter is also devoted to discussion of solvents and reagents, which helps tremendously for separation experiments.
Vogel also discusses aliphatic, heterocyclic, and aromatic compounds and introduces spectroscopic methods. Vogel is recommended for advanced lab course that requires frequent modification of lab procedures and reference for chemists.
Time for a new edition.......2000-09-05
This book is really good but it's time for a new edition ! Compared to another excellent book (Jerry March) it is also too expensive. I would give 5 stars to a new and cheaper edition.
Book Description
The 3rd edition of this widely used resource offers superb guidance on diagnostic and laboratory testing for health professionals in both academic and clinical settings. The chapters are organized by test type and each chapter begins with a list of the tests covered within the test type, as well as an overview of that category including specimen collection techniques. The tests are presented in a consistent format that includes normal findings, indications, contraindications, potential complications, interfering factors, procedure and patient care, test results and clinical significance, and related tests. This full-color book is easy to use and covers virtually every clinically significant test, including more than 50 new to this edition.

Mosby's Lab and Diagnostic Guide.......2007-09-24
Great reference guide--my nurses love it and put it to frequent use in the office clinical setting.
Review of Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic & Lab Test.......2007-09-22
Received the product as described (new) and product was delivered more than one week earlier than the estimated date. The service is excellent.
An excellent quick reference.......2007-09-09
A very useful way to double-check what tests will actually tell you about a patient. It will even go so far as to suggest common conditions that will cause certain lab abnormalities. Though the organization is a bit odd at first, by the second test you look up it's intuitive and quick. I'm quite a fan.
Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests.......2007-09-09
The best of its kind. Get it. It will help you understand and explain to the patient.
Good tool.......2007-05-29
This book is a good tool to use when learning the lab tests and their values--very helpful to look over the night before a clinical and when filling out paperwork.
Customer Reviews:
It is not that bad.......2003-12-15
This is my first semester organic chemistry course. Even though I have been using another book for laboratory "Organic Chemistry Lab [...] by Charles E., Jr. Bell", this book helped me to understand the concepts better (many times the instructor quized us on the reasoning behind an experiment which Bell does not mention).
Moreover, Bell's book is somewhat incomplete. For about 25% of the experiments that I performed, we used hand-outs because Bell's did not handle them correclty.
I think that "developing microscale techniques" section was really good to introduce you to the most important techniques that one must master (which Bell does not mention much either.) I think that this book is not as bad as the other reviewers think, at least, relatively not as bad as they might think.
A very bad book.......2003-09-10
This is one of the worst textbooks I have ever used. Luckily, we only used to for one week...I couldn't imagine having to use it for any longer than that. Unfortunately there isn't an option for zero stars.
The worst book I have EVER had........2003-06-04
I have had some terrible professors, but I have NEVER had a book that was as insufficient and wholly undeveloped in its topic. Mayo et al. may know what they are doing in the laboratory, but they must know NOTHING of writing books to convey knowledge. Someone told me that this is the most widely used book for organic chemistry labs. If that is true, I hate to see the sad state of science in a few years when we start to see all the chemists it produces. Because of the overwhelming difficulty of the problems in this book, students are forced to concentrate on specific answers to the questions that are asked and not on the concepts overall. The result: for all the complexity and effort involved, the student learns NOTHING. The second half of the book outright states (in the intro to Chapter 7) that "the mechanisms ... are more involved and not generally developed at the introductory level." I am an undergraduate student whose second semester of organic chemistry lab far outstrips the two- semester academic textbook.
This book is horrible.......2003-05-01
Chances are you are not buying this book for your home organic lab. You probably are buying this for a class. I feel sorry for you.
Don't buy this!.......1997-12-16
I used this text for my organic labs (2 semesters, for majors). I thought the book was pitiful. From the undergrad's perspective, it was disorganized, unclear, verbose; generally excessive. The black and white pages with black line figures are not exactly a pleasure to read. I HAD to buy it. I hope you don't!

In-depth coverage of 52 blood tests with optimal and functional values.
62 patterns of functional disorders that most physicians do not get from normal reference ranges.
11 nutrient deficiencies that can be seen in blood chemistry and CBC tests.
36 special topics and in-office tests.
Full section of patterns that exist between multiple tests.
Blood chemistry and CBC tracking forms for both US reference units and Standard International Units available as a download.
This best selling manual on Blood Chemistry Analysis has shown hundreds of doctors how to do a functionally oriented blood chemistry analysis. What are you waiting for?
Customer Reviews:
Blood tests beyond the reference range.......2007-04-24
Functional analysis of blood tests goes far beyond looking at reference ranges (which are commonly mistaken for optimal ranges.) However aspects of blood chemistry which are normal, compared with abnormalities in other aspects may lead to an understanding of impaired immunological or endocrine function. Weatherby clearly describes how to analyze blood chemistry and CBC tests in this book. If you deal with blood test analysis, read this book.

Challenging Questions For MT Students.......2007-01-03
This is the most difficult review book that I've come across. It contains harder questions than the ACSP Bor review book, NCA review book and the Prentice Hall Q and A review book. If you like challenging questions, then this book is for you. If you just want the basics and normal questions, then go with the other books. It has the explainations along side the questions on the very same page which is nice. Not really for students studying for the MLT exam but more toward MT level exam material. The new 3rd edition comes with new CD software with quizes and photographs which I found to be very nice.
Clinical Laboratory Science Review .......2006-11-10
Very good book. I highly recommend it to anybody preparing for certification exams.

A must have book.......2006-05-10
Actually, my co-worker asked me to purchased this book online. All I know is she passed her stateboard last week.
Comprehensive review.......2005-09-20
I found this book to be a very good review for the med tech exam. There were even a few topics that weren't covered in class. The key to making this book work is to start early and do a set number of questions per day. I liked the fact that they had explainations for each answer, because then you could figure out why you got a question wrong. I passed the MT(ASCP) exam with a high score, and I feel that this book definately contributed to my success.

it's not bad.......2007-10-08
i'm happy with the service, i recieved the book on on time, but the book it self is awfully odd. it has some errors.
Clinical Chemistry.......2007-05-14
A great textbook for learning clinical chemistry. Text is very easy to understand and parallels some of the materials for the test manufacturers. The index could be improved slightly, but is still user-friendly.
typos galore.......2007-01-05
This book is not very helpful because it is littered with typos, not only in the text, but also in tables and graphs. I recommend that you save your money and purchase a better book then this.
Clear and concise for the student and lab generalist.......2006-12-08
This is an excellent book to use as an introduction to clinical chemistry. The chapter layout is logical and the content finds an appropriate balance keeping things concise but with enough depth for most student MTs and generalists. Specialist lab personnel and student MTs with clinical chemistry as a career interest would probably find the Tietz Fundamentals (not the Tietz Textbook-that's overkill) to be a better investment though as it covers topics at greater depth.
A CONCISE, BUT GOOD BOOK.......2000-05-07
ALTHOUGH KAPLAN'S BOOK CLINICAL CHEMISTRY IS MORE EXTENSE, AND COVERS THE SUBJECTS QUITE DEEPLY, THIS BOOK IS A CONCISE, AND GOOD, ALTERNATIVE. IT'S MAIN ADVANTAGE IS THAT ALL SUBJECTS ARE NEWLY REVISED AND TRIES TO OFFER THE CLASSICAL AND NEWEST METHODS IN USE IN CLINICAL LABORATORIES.
Book Description
Advances in body fluid examination have provided pathologists with new tools and capabilities. The third edition of Body Fluids has been extensively updated and expanded to discuss all aspects of body fluid examination. The text is written as a practical guide for use at the bench, and as a reference for more esoteric laboratory investigation.
Each chapter of Body Fluids is focused on a specific fluid and begins with a detailed description of the anatomy and physiology, specimen collection, and a summary of the most common laboratory tests. Sections are included on gross examination, cell counts, microscopy, flow cytometry, chemical analysis, tumor markers, and microbiologic studies. The third edition has been expanded with substantial new material including twice as many tables, and the addition of Papancolaou's stain for comparison to Romanowsky-type. Immunocytochemistry is discussed in each chapter, and recent advancements in diagnostic molecular biology such as gene rearrangement and polymerase chain reaction are also explored. More than 350 color images aid in understanding and learning.
In addition to residents, fellows and practitioners of pathology, the text will be of interest to internists, surgeons, rheumatologists, clinical chemists, and all other specialists who need an accurate understanding of body fluid analysis.

Book Description
The new edition continues to offer a wide variety of organic lab experiments for both standard and microscale formats and features unusually strong coverage of spectroscopy.
Customer Reviews:
Strong Coverage of Spectroscopy, interesting labs.......2001-04-15
This book contains an exceptionally strong coverage of spectroscopy. Proton and carbon NMR are well explained, with detailed tables to predict and justify chemical shifts. IR spec is also well explained. A limited discussion of mass spec is also present. The laboratory exercises are clear in most cases, with a few minor exceptions. Be sure to read the instructions before lab as a few exercises contin ambiguous instructions that become more clear if the entire lab is read first. The number of syntheses is excellent, and many laboratory exercises contain interesting procedures that result in various colored, or common products. As a student of one of the authors, Dr. Douglas F. Taber, I have found this book to be a useful reference for spectroscopy as well as an excellent lab text.
Book Description
This edition features the successful format that has characterized the previous editions. It includes essays that add relevance and interest to the experiments, and emphasis on the development of the important laboratory techniques, the use of spectroscopy and instrumental methods of analysis, a section featuring conventional-scale experiments and methods, and a wide selection of well-tested and well-written experiments.
Customer Reviews:
Good content, poor construction.......2006-11-10
Having owned the previous version of this book, I would have to say that the layout in this new version is much more linear and easy to follow. In addition to new experiments, the instructions are clear for a beginning organic lab student. That being said, however, the material that the book is constructed from is sub par...the pages are very delicate, seeming to be made of tissue paper...Over all, I would recommend this book for its content, but not for the craftsmanship.
Book in great shape.......2005-09-19
Book is flawless, not even scratches on the cover, cannot remember promptness of delivery.
AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE!.......2001-07-25
Pavia et al's Organic Laboratory Techniques (2nd Ed) is an astonishingly excellent book for the beginning student.
In great (yet delightful) detail it describes a series of 60 varied experiments designed to acquaint the reader with a plethora of laboratory techniques, from Measuring Volumes and Weights up thru Chromatography and Spectroscopy.
Particularly good are the many exceptionally clear drawings of laboratory apparatus, and rational behind the instrumentation. (Eg, do you know why you should put a trap in the aspirator hose, or for that matter how the aspirator (vacuum) works?) Sprinkled throughout are hints on how best to perform this, that or the other thing.
A thorough reading of this gem will make you right at home in the organic chemistry laboratory, and indeed will practically make you an organic chemist in spite of yourself.
In fact, if you are thinking of going to college, you might ask whether this text is used in the college's Organic Chemistry Lab course. If not, and you are interested in science, find a school that uses it! And if you are already in a lab course with another text, you would be well advised to get this eminently readable treasure also.
Excellent Lab Text But Not Everyone Has To Buy It.......2000-08-29
Though a complete laboratory text with 50+ experiments, lab techniques, tables of unknowns and spectroscopy, the organic faculty prepare our own lab manual to be followed. Pavia text becomes a close handy reference for lab techniques and setup. The techniques section, which include filtration, crystallization, distillation (simple, fractional, and steam), chromatogrpahy (column, thin-layer, and gas)... should be carefully studied before conducting experiments for beginning students. Unless your organic lab course follows almost exactly the outline of experiments in this text, you can check it out from the library and read it.
Best organic laboratory manual available!.......1999-05-17
I have taken a full course using this book and I think that it is the best one I have seen! Organic chemistry is a hard subject and this book lays it out in an understandable way. The "techniuques" section is current, readable, and the pictures are well done. The essays that accompany many of the experiments are entertaining and give good background information that helps doing the experiments more enjoyable. Probably the best section is the "identification of unknowns" section which lays out in a good logical way how to identify what you have in the lab. I think that the book also addresses and promotes a great trend in chemistry i.e. microscale research that reduces waste and promotes conservation of chemicals and the environment.
