The most systematic, fully integtated, and up-to-date presentation of organic synthesis in all its aspects ever published! This truly monumental work is so complete and so pre cise in its coverage of the subject t h a t it sur passes even specialized texts in each and every phase of this vast field. It stands alone in its full, comprehensive treatment of the important recent developments, and is outstandingly de pendable for its handling of essentials. Great emphasis is put on the later advances, including reactions like halogenation, ni tration, sulfonation, and diazotization. Chapters dealing with the olefins and acetylenic compounds are complete essays in them selves on these timely subjects, and more in clusive than any previous exposition. • The book also deals concisely with information on sterols, carotenoids, vitamins, peptides, carbo hydrates, terpenes, azulenes, and tropolones. This is the first general reference which accords full details to these comparatively new fields. Likewise, all the standard methods are com pletely covered, and w i t h a new approach. There is strict adherence to each subject dis cussed, with no confusing digressions into re lated topics; essentials are presented in brief, adequate wording; and there is a continuity of text matter which purposely avoids irrele vant material. The result is a systematic arrangement which facilitates the location and use of all information included.

Standard For Research
... solves the pressing problem of forming KBr Pellets Many insoluble materials, mixed with Potassium Bromide, can be formed in a die under pressure into pellets or wafers for quantitative and quali tative analysis. The CLP supplies the pressure — up to 40,000 lbs, if needed. This specific use is only one of the ways this versatile laboratory assist ant meets the challenge of research and development. Some of the many uses are: u* Dehydrating; i Pressure filtering of thick fluids μ* Compression tests ι·1* Fatty acid determinations \* Plastic molding, forming and blocking ι** Embossing and forcing k* Pressing mother liquors from crystals i«* Extracting Vaccines and Viruses Illustrated is the Standard (10 Ton) CARVER LABORATORY PRESS complete with Gauge. 20 Ton Models also available - - additional Standard Accessories for other applica tions can be supplied.
