CHEMISTRY LAB KIT INSTRUCTIONS Not suitable for children under 10 years. For use under WARNING! adult supervision. Contains some chemicals which present a hazard to health. Read the instructions before use, follow them and keep them for reference. Do not allow chemicals to come into contact with any part of the body, particularly mouth and eyes. Keep small children and animals away from experiments. Keep the experimental set out of reach of children under 10 years old. Eye protection for supervising adults is not included. MADE IN CHINA P38-CM001-81001003 CONTENTS : 2 Test Tubes with Stoppers 1 Cleaning Brush 1 Test Tube Holder 2 Glass Tubing 1 Rubber Tubing 1 Spirit Lamp 1 Beaker(0-100ml) 1 Stirring Rod 1 Measuring Spoon 6 Filter Papers 8 Universal Indicator Paper 1 Goggles 2 Cork Stoppers with hole 1 Funnel 2 Cork Stoppers 1 Instruction Book 1 Scoop 1 Dropping Pipette 1 Test Tube Rack The Safety Rules Read these instructions before use, follow them and keep them for reference. Keep young children, animals and those not wearing eye protection away from the experimental area. Always wear eye protection. Store this experimental set out of reach of children under 10 years of age. Clean all equipment after use. Make sure that all containers are fully closed and properly stored after use. Ensure that all empty containers are disposed of properly; Wash hands after carrying out experiments. DO NOT use any equipment which has not been supplied with the set or recommended in the instructions for use. DO NOT eat or drink in the experimental area. DO NOT allow chemicals to come into contact with the eyes or mouth. DO NOT replace foodstuffs in original container. Dispose of immediately. Disposal of chemicals should be in accordance with local regulations. Advice for supervising adults • Read and follow these instructions, the safety rules and the first aid information, and keep for reference. • The incorrect use of chemicals can cause injury and damage to health. Only carry out those activities which are listed in the instructions. • This chemical set is for use only of children over 10 years of age. • Because children’s abilities vary so much, even within age groups, supervising adults should exrcise discretion as to which experiments are suitable and safe for them. The instructions should enable supervisors to assess any experiment to establish its suitability for a particular child. • The supervising adult should discuss the warnings and safety information with the child or children before commencing the experiments. Particular attention should be paid to the safe handling of acids, alkalies and flammable liquids. • The area surrounding the experiment should be kept clear of any obstruction and away from the storage of food. It should be well lit and ventilated and close to a water supply. A solid table with a heat resistant top should be provided. • The Spirit Burner should be placed on a metal tray. Fill the burner three quarters full with Methylated Spirits. You need about 3mm of wick protruding from the cap. Keep the bottle of Methylated Spririts well away from the Spirit Burner. Light the burner with a match. CAUTION! The flame is nearly colourless and in bright sunlight it may be invisible. It is very easy to burn yourself. 1 General rst aid information In case of eye contact: Wash out eye with plenty of water, holding eye open if necessary. Seek immediate medical advice. If swallowed: Wash out mouth with water, drink some fresh water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical advice. In case of inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. In case of skin contact and burns: Wash affected area with plenty of water for 10 minutes. In case of doubt seek medical advice without delay. Take the chemical together with the container with you. In case of injury always seek medical advice. Record the telephone number of your local hospital (or local poison centre) in the box below. (write the number in NOW so you do not have to search for it in an emergency) Telephone Local Hospital: Take Chemical with you to the hospital Safety Goggles User Information Instructions for use, storage and maintenance: • Hold goggles with one hand, if possible without touching the lens. • Pull the elastic head band over the back of your head, just above the ears so that the goggles sit on your forehead. Then pull the goggles down over the eyes carefully and adjust strap for a snug and comfortable fit. • Ensure goggles are kept clean, dry and do not come into contact with loose chemicals or sharp objects. • Wash with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth after use. • Store the goggles under room temperature. Warning: • These goggles are only to be used with the contents and instructions supplied. If goggles become damaged, do not attempt to repair and discard immediately. • The goggles are intended for protection against liquids (droplets or splashes). • Materials which may come into contact with the wearer’s skin could cause allergic reactions to susceptible individuals.

Laboratory Analysis—Version 1.0. Gulf Coast Network Standard Operating Procedure NPS/GULN/SOP—SEA05. Gulf Coast Network, Lafayette, Louisiana. Summary This standard operating procedure (SOP) for laboratory analysis of total suspended solids (TSS) is adopted verbatim from USEPA Method 160.2. Revision Log Revision Date Author Changes Made Reason for Change New Version # METHOD #: 160.2 Approved for NPDES (Issued 1971) TITLE: Residue, Non-Filterable (Gravimetric, Dried at 103–105°C) ANALYTE: Residue, Non-Filterable INSTRUMENTATION: Drying Oven STORET No. 00530 1. Scope and Application a. This method is applicable to drinking, surface, and saline waters, domestic and industrial wastes. b. The practical range of the determination is 4 mg / L to 20,000 mg / L. 2. Summary of Method a. A well-mixed sample is filtered through a glass fiber filter, and the residue retained on the filter is dried to constant weight at 103-105°C. b. The filtrate from this method may be used for Residue, Filterable. 3. Definitions a. Residue, non-filterable, is defined as those solids which are retained by a glass fiber filter and dried to constant weight at 103-105°C. 4. Sample Handling and Preservation a. Non-representative particulates such as leaves, sticks, fish, and lumps of fecal matter should be excluded from the sample if it is determined that their inclusion is not desired in the final result. b. Preservation of the sample is not practical; analysis should begin as soon as possible.

    Laboratory filtration Principles and chemical compatibility chart Filtration simplified Basic filtration concepts and terms Selecting a filter with the appropriate properties can help you achieve accurate results and reach discovery faster. But with so many types of filters to choose from, how can you be sure you’re making the right choice? GE Healthcare Life Sciences, maker of Whatman™ brand filtration products, has assembled this compilation of basic filtration concepts and terms to clarify the various options available to you and speed up your selection process. Ash content Hydrophilic Determined by ignition of the cellulose filter at 900°C Because hydrophilic filters possess an affinity for water in air. Minimizing ash content is essential in gravimetric and can be wetted with virtually any liquid, they are applications and also a useful measure of the level of typically used for aqueous solutions and compatible general purity. organic solvents.
