Analytical Chemistry Sample Search
Search Topic:
Find references dealing with the use of Crystal Violet for the spectrophotometric determination of metals.
Strategy:
- Find the Registry Number for Crystal Violet.
- Key Terms
- detn or determination (“detn” is a CAS standard abbreviation)
- or anal or analy? (“anal” is a CAS standard abbreviation, “analy?” retrieves analysis and analytic)
- spectrophotomet? (“spectrophotomet?” retrieves both spectrophotometry and spectrophotometric)
- metal? (“metal?” retrieves metal, metals, and metallic)
- Expand search to specific metals: W, Co or Zn. Use the names of the metals along with their Registry Numbers.
Teaching Points:
Registry File:
- Use CN field to find registry number (RN)
CA File:
- Use L# from REGISTRY file to include deleted registry numbers
- Allow for CA abbreviations when choosing search terms
- Comparison of D SCAN and D SAM
