Overview

Focused, streamlined, and designed throughout to meet the needs of the one-term GOB Lab course, this manual features 14 easy-to-follow experiments (6 general chemistry, 4 organic chemistry, and 4 biochemistry) that illustrate the key concepts that every allied health student must know. Clear directions help students complete labs successfully, while pre- and post-lab questions for every experiment test their ability to apply concepts.
