SUMMARY

Toxicologists routinely collect data on chemicals used during experiments and the chemical composition of samples from crime scenes. This data is meticulously recorded both on paper and digitally, ensuring traceability through signatures. Resources such as the Merck Manuals and Patty's Toxicology provide foundational knowledge and guidelines for data management in toxicology. Understanding these practices is essential for maintaining accuracy and reliability in toxicological assessments.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with toxicological terminology and concepts
  • Understanding of data recording methods in scientific research
  • Knowledge of traceability protocols in laboratory settings
  • Basic skills in using digital data management tools
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Merck Manuals for comprehensive toxicological data guidelines
  • Explore Patty's Toxicology for in-depth information on chemical data management
  • Learn about best practices for data traceability in laboratory environments
  • Investigate digital tools for recording and managing toxicological data
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for toxicologists, laboratory technicians, and researchers involved in chemical analysis and data management in toxicology.

I am woundering if there are any toxicologists on this forum so I could ask some questions (If they don't mind). For example, what data do you record on a day-to-day basis, how is it recorded and how it is made traceable. I have a rough idea, however I am not certain as I can't find anything on it on the web :(.

Types if data that could be recoreded which came to mind are: chemicals being used during experiments, the chemicals contained in samples collected from crime scenes. Presumably, the data is recorded on paper and computers and is tracible by signatures.

Thread 'Gold hydride - what is the significance?'

I came.across a headline and read some of the article, so I was curious. Scientists discover that gold is a 'reactive metal' by accidentally creating a new material in the lab https://www.earth.com/news/discovery-that-gold-is-reactive-metal-by-creating-gold-hydride-in-lab-experiment/ From SLAC - A SLAC team unexpectedly formed gold hydride in an experiment that could pave the way for studying materials under extreme conditions like those found inside certain planets and stars undergoing...
