Spot tests are defined as an analytical technique which enables the analyst to accomplish satisfactory semi-micro, micro and ultra-micro tests with simple equipment and minimum consumption of sample and time. These simple tests make use of the color and odor of the organic compound in the preliminary stage of analysis and also the identification of certain vapors and gases evolved during pyrolysis.

Volume X contains two chapters. The first, on organic spot test analysis, is complementary to P.W. West’s shorter chapter on inorganic spot test procedures, published in Volume IA more than 20 years ago. The second chapter presents a brief history of analytical chemistry. Besides being a valuable source of references to early analytical work, this chapter makes most amusing reading.
