Summary Unit 2: Practical Scientific Procedures And Techniques

Unit 2:
Practical Scientific
Procedures And
Techniques

, Unit 2 Overview:
Carrying out practical laboratory techniques correctly and
accurately is important part of the work of a laboratory
technician.
Techniques developed over a century ago are still used in
modern analytical chemistry and are the basis for analysis in a
range of occupations related to the chemical industry,
medicine and pharmaceuticals, education, forensic
investigation and many more.
Following correct laboratory practice will improve your
analytical skills, develop your transferable skills and help you
to appreciate the need for attention to detail.
