LIQUIFLUOR (PPO-POPOP CONCENTRATE)
WILL SAVE YOU HOURS OF MIXING TIME!
Soviet Research in Boron Chemistry.
No more time-consuming la boratory weighing and stirring. No more waiting for ingredi ents to dissolve. All you do is pour LIQUIFLUOR* into the solvent. Independent laboratory tests show counting efficiencies identical with old 'weigh and stir' method. ADVANTAGES: . Saves time — just mix — no waiting. . Less chance for error in compounding. . Flexible — can be used with any liquid scintillator system containing toluene. . Contents: a 25x concentrate. 1 liter contains 100 grams PPO and 1.25 grams POPOP in specially purified toluene. . Available in 1 liter and 500 milliliter bottles. FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION. WRITE TODAY. . . TO DEPT. A (A request on your letter-head will bring you a free sample.) *TM

This book is designed as a work and reference volume, written in Spanish, for those using analytical chemistry procedures; and it is especially con cerned with analytical applications of liDTA and related compounds. The first part of the book covers the theo retical principles of the use and general applications of chelons in analytical chemistry. The second part is devoted to description of more than 500 ana lytical procedures in which chelons are used as basic or auxiliary reagents. Almost 1300 references are included in the book.
Duolite Ion Exchange Manual,
New LIQUIFLUOR* is an ex clusive development of Pilot Chemicals—a pre-mixed liquid concentrate of PPO and POPOP in specially purified toluene which will save you hours of mixing time in the laboratory . . . and greatly re duce the chance for error.

This hand booklet is written for those who are responsible for the qual ity appraisal of tinplate and the de termination of the suitability of par ticular grades for specific uses. It is limited to what may be called the superficial layers of the tinplate and so does not describe mechanical testing procedures. There are illustrations and diagrams and sufficient detail is given to enable laboratory technicians to set up and carry out the tests.

+ 152 pages. Chemical Process Co., 1901 Spring St., Redwood City, Calif. 1960. No charge for single copies. This manual was compiled and edited by members of the technical staff of Chemical Process Co. from informa tion accumulated over a period of more than 20 years. Although it stresses the properties and uses of Duolite ion exchangers developed and produced by the company, it is general in its cover age and is intended as a technical refer ence work. Beginning with a section on the gen eral properties and behavior of various types of ion-exchange resins, the man ual continues with detailed descrip tions of laboratory procedures. These include methods for setting up columns, for treating resins prior to use, for de termining capacities, and for carrying out various physical and chemical tests. The concluding section is an appendix containing information and data useful in a wide range of ion-exchange appli cations.
