The following programmes are produced by the Laboratory of the Goverment Chemist and are available from:
Analysts is a video which provides an insight into the role which analytical science plays in our daily lives. Analytical data are ensures the quality of the air we breathe, food we eat, and the water we drink, and the challenges which analysts face are becoming progressively more complex.
The video uses the medium of four case studies to illustrate the range of roles played by analytical scientists testing the safety of products on sale in the High Street, and in the formulation and testing of new pharmaceutical products. It also shows how a laboratory tests for evidence of the illegal use of drugs, and how analytical science is used to protect the environment by testing for contamination in soil, or for harmful engine emissions.
Analysts will be of particular interest to post 16 students and others who are interested in the fascinating role which analysis plays in our everyday lives.

Increasingly, the emphasis in today's analytical laboratory is on quality measurement. The need for well-trained analysts has never been greater. Unfortunately new recruits do not always enter industry fully trained and competent in basic skills. Cost effective training in the skills is addressed in the video Basic Laboratory Skills, produced by practising analysts at the LGC.
The video provides a logical mix of basic techniques comprehensively covered, with emphasis on points of particular importance such as modern laboratory practices, weighing, pipetting, burettes and titration. It will be of particular relevance to laboratory managers, training managers, practising analysts, teachers, lecturers and students.

Further Laboratory Skills is the second of two training videos produced by the LGC. Designed to meet common staff training requirements, this video builds on the fundamental techniques already covered in Basic Laboratory Skills.
Topics covered compliment those of weighing, pipetting, use of burettes and titration covered in the previous video, and include modern laboratory practice, handling and treatment of laboratory samples, solvent extraction, drying and ashing of samples, and rotary evaporation. Whether used on its own or in conjunction with Basic Laboratory Skills, Further Laboratory Skills will provide the most cost-effective training so much in demand by today's quality conscious analytical laboratory.

Confidence In Analysis is an educational package, comprising a video and booklet, which looks at the way analysts establish confidence in the validity of their results. The video explains why it is important for analysts to be able to associate a level of confidence with their results. It follows through a complex multi-stage analysis from sampling to reporting, and shows how the (unavoidable) uncertainty in each stage can be estimated. The accompanying booklet deals with the principles which underlie measurement uncertainty, and provides more information on the practical aspects of estimating uncertainty.
The package will be interesting to all analysts who are concerned with the quality of their measurements, and to everyone who uses the results of analytical measurements in areas such as legislation, quality control, research, and trade in goods and services.

Produced by the LGC in support of the UK national measurement system.
This video and booklet package looks at how the international analytical community is striving to improve and standardise its techniques and results. This package will educate scientists at many levels about chemical measurement, and in doing so will stimulate useful discussion.
Increasing world trade has lead to more chemical analyses being performed. These analyses are performed by supplier and buyer using in - house and independent analytical chemists. For free trade to occur there must be trust and confidence in the results of both sets analyses that is they must be comparable.
This programme discusses one option for that agreement - that of traceability. This is being able to trace the method and results of a particular analysis from the test procedure and the working chemical reference materials, through secondary and primary methods and reference materials to finally the SI units and the standard mole.
In the program, the analysis of steel by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is used as an example. Each stage of the analysis, from weighing to the final analysis, is looked at to see if it is traceable back to an agreed standard.
All the above is viewed from the point of chemical metrology - the science of chemical measurement.
Produced as part of the DTI VAM Initiative.
