Augmented by a series of practical utilities, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics on DVD, Version 2013 contains all of the information found in the most recent print edition—in a conveniently searchable electronic format. A mainstay for scientists around the world for more than 90 years, the handbook continues to evolve with major updates, expansions, and new tables.

New tables reflect the reorganization of the Analytical Chemistry section:

Section 8: Analytical Chemistry

Introduction Analytical Standardization and Calibration Mass- and Volume-Based Concentration Units Properties of Common Cross-Linked Silicone Stationary Phases Detectors for Gas Chromatography Solid-Phase Microextraction Sorbents Eluotropic Values of Solvents on Octadecylsilane and Octylsilane Wavelength-Wavenumber Conversion Table Middle Range Infrared Absorption Correlation Charts Common Spurious Infrared Absorption Bands Properties of Important NMR Nuclei Proton NMR Absorption of Major Chemical Families 15N NMR Chemical Shifts of Major Chemical Families Natural Abundance of Important Isotopes Common Mass Spectral Fragmentation Patterns of Organic Compound Families Common Mass Spectral Fragments Lost Major Reference Masses in the Spectrum of Heptacosafluorotributylamine (Perfluorotributylamine) Common Spurious Signals Observed in Mass Spectrometers Standards for Laboratory Weights Organic Analytical Reagents for the Determination of Inorganic Cations
