Hey Guys, I'm looking for books recommendations on classical
qualitative chemical analysis. Much of the modern information I've
seen is based on instrumental methods, rather then wet test-tube
methods. I work for a very, very small company, we can not afford,
expensive computerized tools.

We'd love to have a master index of detection protocols for inorganic
chemicals, also a book on general procedures. Any recommendations are
much appreciated.

Thank you for any help,
-Brian

I run a small lab doing contract work. A considerable amount is
classical analysis. The interesting thing is that many of the
instrumental methods rely on standards that have previously analysed
by classical procedures. I get a few jobs analysing reference
materials for other labs instrumental procedures.
Classical methods also generally have a much better precision than
instumental methods.

Remember classical procedures require more skilled and expensive staff
and are much much more expensive to run than instrumental method.

As far as books I have approximately five metres of books on chemical
analysis.
If you let me know what you were wanting to analyse for I may be able
to find a few specific methods. You must remember that few methods of
analysis are universal and that analyte, matrix and precision must be
taken into account. For example I use five different methods for
examining the alcohol content of products matrices include high
alcohol spirits, standard beer and wines, low alcohol beer, trace
alcohols in natural fruit juices, and cream liqueurs.
