Features: As a training textbook and self-study guide for laboratory technicians, The Laboratory Technician's Companion is divided into two volumes: Volume 1, "Chemical Analysis," and Volume 2, "Instrumental Analysis." This volume (Volume 1) consists of ten chapters, introducing the fundamental knowledge and basic operations of chemical analysis methods such as titration analysis, gravimetric analysis, separation and enrichment, and analytical errors. It also covers general laboratory instruments (glassware and other products), experimental water, solution preparation and concentration calculations, and the construction of analytical laboratories—providing technicians with the knowledge and skills required. This revision maintains the original layout and writing style while emphasizing practicality in content selection. It takes into account the recent updates and advancements in laboratory instruments, as well as the current educational and knowledge levels of technicians. Aligning with the new demands of modern industry and technological progress in analytical work, the content has been comprehensively reevaluated and rearranged based on the actual needs of technicians. The descriptions of commonly used laboratory instruments have been updated, outdated analytical methods and the operation of old-model instruments have been removed, and new laboratory instruments and their usage have been added. The book fully implements the relevant regulations of China's legal metrology units, with all terms and terminology standardized. To facilitate use as a training textbook, this edition includes additional examples and exercises, enhancing the training content for technicians' comprehensive abilities.
