Techniques in Organic Chemistry is a compilation of short video segments designed to teach the basic laboratory techniques in organic chemistry. A French language version is included on the same videotape.

Procedures are performed by "stage hands"--only the demonstrators hands and the equipment used are visible.

Part I of Techniques in Organic Chemistry is approximately 60 minutes long and includes video segments describing the following techniques:

• the proper manipulative methods for handling chemicals safely;
• three types of filtration and when to use each;
• recrystallization of a solid using a single solvent;
• recrystallization of a solid using two solvents;
• product analysis by thin layer chromatography.
