Analytical Abstracts database

The Analytical Forum on ChemWeb (http //analytical. chemweb.com/search/search.exe) gives access to probably one of the most interesting sites of analytical chemistry on the web. Extensive search options in the Analytical Abstracts Database (AA) , as well as in a literature database (collection of analytical journals) are provided after registration (free). Articles of AA can be purchased online references from the literature database generally also available as abstracts without cost. 

The Analytical Abstracts database (http //www.rsc.org/ CFAA/AASearchPage.cfm) can be searched according to analyte name, matrix name and analytical technique. CAS registry numbers are also accepted and searches can be restricted to publication year and other parameters. Hits give access to the title, the author and the publication month. The full abstract can be purchased.

Thorough, up-to-date and accurate listings of a large number of chemistry sites. The chemical database section at http //www.liv.ac.uk/ Chemistry/Links/refdatabases.html gives details of a collection of about 80 chemical databases (among them Analytical Abstracts, Beilstein, CCDC, CA Selects Plus, ChemFinder, DrugDB, FT-IR Library, STN, etc). 

Especially useful to chemists are Chemical Abstracts and Analytical Abstracts. Some databases can be accessed via the Internet, such as BIDS (Bath Information and Data Service), a UK service providing access to information from over 7000 periodicals (username and password required via your library). Each of these databases usually has its own easy-to-follow menu instructions. It is worthwhile to consider key words for your search beforehand to focus your search and save time. 

An exhaustive study has been carried out based on the abstracts given by Analytical Abstracts (Royal Society of Chemistry) database January 1980-June 2006. A great many keywords covering all types of cosmetic products has been used to carry out the search. It is necessary to indicate that the total number of articles recovered in this search was nearly 1500 and consequently only the information given in the abstracts was processed. 

An up-to-date bibliographic search from 1980 to July 2006 using analytical chemistry databases revealed more than 30 publications focusing on hair-dye determination in hair-dye products. Table 4.3.6 gives a chronological summary of the experimental details of published papers on hair-dye determination. Those papers that do not deal with cosmetic samples are not included. It should be emphasized that the non-English publications have been reviewed on the basis of their respective abstracts, and thus, several data could be incomplete as shown by some blank cells in the aforanentioned table. 

The compiled data for non-official methods have been obtained from the analytical literature published between January 1980 and June 2006. The Analytical Abstracts (Royal Society of Chemistry) database has been used. 

An important role for the reliability of the analytical process is information. The information should have updated data about the sample, the sampling process, and the analytical method chosen for sample analysis. Using databases that contain abstracts of papers published in journals, books, and monographs provides useful information. The information must be obtained before the first step of the analytical process, which will assure correctness, capability, accuracy, and reliability.
