EVISA Brief Summaries

EVISA's Glossary is a guide to terms used within the interdisciplinary community of   scientists involved in research related to elemental species).

The IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology is the definitive guide to chemical terminology; it now contains more than 7000 entries, is easy to browse, search, and navigate.

The Web edition of the IUPAC Compendium on Analytical Terminology provides ease of access to the extensive information contained in its recommendations.

This index provides an introduction to some of the fundamental concepts and methods of analytical chemistry.

This index provides introductions to the most common methods of instrumental analysis.

The site provides copies of the lecture materials associated with Analytical Chemistry I and II. Each topic listed links to a PDF format file.

This area contains copies of the lecture presentations associated with 3150:710 Special Topics: Chemometrics

This page is an introduction to statistical tools used for analytical chemistry. It was developed to help students apply statistical tests and tools to data sets typically encountered in analytical chemistry.

A tutorial guide to problem solving in analytical chemistry.

A package of programs for the quantitative treatment of activity coefficients and a wide range of equilibria in solutions of varying backgrounds, ionic strengths and temperatures. Includes software for speciation calculations and titration simulations.

The content of the 92nd Edition, 2011-2012, of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is available online here.

Chemfinder is the most comprehensive resource for chemical compound data on the Web at this time. Enter the formula, name, molecular weight, or even a drawn structure fragment of a compound and this database fills in the blanks and returns structural formulas and a few other properties, along with compound-specific MSDS links. The database presently contains over 75000 compounds, although detailed data is available only for a few thousand of the most common compounds.

The database covers solubilities originally published in the IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series. Mutual solubilities and liquid-liquid equilibria of binary, ternary and quaternary systems are presented. Typical solvents and solutes include water, sea water, heavy water, inorganic compounds, and a variety of organic compounds such as hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids, esters and nitrogen compounds.

This database gives very fast access to all significant published metal-ligand stability constants with over 22000 literature references and with interactive applications to display speciation curves, to correct for temperature or ionic strength changes etc.

The NIST Chemistry WebBook provides access to data compiled and distributed by NIST under the Standard Reference Data Program.

A link list managed by the Thermodynamics Research Laboratory, UIC.

Wolfram|Alpha introduces a fundamentally new way to get knowledge and answers—
not by searching the web, but by doing dynamic computations based on a vast collection of built-in data, algorithms, and methods.

A collection of methods for sampling and analysis of contaminants in workplace air, and in the blood and urine of workers who are occupationally exposed. These methods have been developed or adapted by NIOSH or its partners and have been evaluated according to established experimental protocols and performance criteria. NMAM also includes chapters on quality assurance, sampling, portable instrumentation.

A searchable database of environmental analytical methods 

Internationally agreed test methods to determine the safety of chemicals and chemical preparations, including pesticides and industrial chemicals

OSHA provides an alphabetical list of chemicals that have either a validated or partially validated OSHA method. Some chemicals may be listed by their common synonym. The index includes the method number, validation status, CAS number, analytical instrument and sampling device.

The EPA publishes laboratory analytical methods used by industries and municipalities to analyse the chemical and biological components of wastewater, drinking water, sediment, and other environmental samples that are required by EPA regulations under the authority of the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act.

Dr. Paul Gaines present an essential guide for trace analysts at any level of experience. Topics cover all phases of sample collection, preparation, measurement, and data analysis. (All references to trace analysis assume the use of either ICP-OES or ICP-MS for the purposes of this guide.)
