CHEM A104L - Introduction to Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry Lab

Introduction to Organic and Biochemistry Lab is a one semester lab sequence based on the concepts presented in CHEM A104.

All CHEM A104 labs are held in CPSB 311.  You must attend the first day of labs and you must attend with your lab manual and goggles.  Both are available through the campus bookstore.  Labs start on August 24th, 2009.

For your convenience, we've posted several files below that you may find useful at some point during the semester.  Please check back frequently to remind yourself of what's available here.  Some of our files are posted in PowerPoint format.  Others are posted in pdf format.   If you don't already have it, the Adobe Acrobat Reader can be downloaded for free.

Of general interest: (Presentations will be posted soon!)
