Foreword
from Microscale Chemistry*
The use of microscale chemistry is gaining momentum worldwide
and is now an integral part of courses in North America, France
and South Africa as well as in the UK. The advantages of microscale
chemistry are evident in terms of safety and convenience. Microscale
experiments also require students to rethink approach to experimental
technique and encourages increased accuracy and kill in carrying
out procedures. Microscale chemistry in the UK is currently mainly
confined to undergraduate teaching in universities. However, the
Royal Society of Chemistry believes that this publication will
provide the basis to help establish microscale chemistry at the
secondary level.
