The classification capacity of a linear discriminant is tested using a prediction set. Eight coated surface acoustic wave devices are necessary to distinguish hazardous vapors from several interference vapors in the presence of mixtures. Susan L. Rose-Pehrsson* and Jay W.

Good Laboratory Practices An Agrochemical Perspective
R
equirements for good laboratory practices (GLP) are here to stay! This new book will teach you how to implement a GLP program that meets federal standards. You'll get an overview of good laboratory practices from EPA, academic, and industrial perspectives. You'll become more familiar with current practices, probable changes, what needs to be done, why, and how to do it. You'll read case histories from experts describing implementation of standards in their own laboratories. Also, you'll examine the nonscientific aspects of implementation, ranging from the role of management to financial considerations. With 19 chapters, this book provides a better understanding of GLP standards with regard to · compliance · quality assurance · standard operating procedures. Also included is the text of the proposed FIFRA Generic Good Laboratory Practices Standards. If you are a chemist, quality assurance manager, or are involved in the implementation of a GLP program, you'll find that Good Laboratory Practices: An Agrochemical Perspective is an excellent guide for conducting chemical studies that comply with GLP standards.
