If 30,000 educational institutions that currently generate more than 4,000 metric tons of hazardous waste per year in the United States were to convert to microscale chemistry, 3,960 metric tons of that waste would be eliminated, at a savings of hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Many industrial research and development laboratories could achieve comparable financial and environmental savings. 

The committee recognizes that enormous quantities of hazardous waste can be minimized by converting to microscale chemistry with proportionate environmental and financial savings. Many tons of waste and millions of dollars would be saved by going to the microscale level. At the same time it must be recognized that multi-gram laboratory preparation is often required to provide sufficient material for further work. Precaution appropriate to the...

Experimental protocols using microwave heating have been added to Experiments 7, 8,15,22, and 30. The experiments in this book can be performed on a range of these commercially available microwave units. The procedures are split into two classes the first is generally for use with monomode microwave apparatus (Biotage Initiator and CEM Discover) and the second for use wifh multimode microwave units (Anton Fhar Synthos 3000, CEM MARS, and Milestone MicroSYNTH). A modified version of the monomode procedure for use wifh fhe Anton Fhar Synthos 3000 in conjunction with the silicon carbide plate format for microscale chemistry is added as a footnote in the monomode protocol.
