The laboratory is the starting point for medical, pharmaceutical, chemical, and bioscientific research. Proficient scientific English is essential in the lab today for efficient communication and successful work. The relevant terminology for lab equipment, devices, methods, and technology should be mastered just as well as that for chemicals and safety-related terminology. The dictionary contains a core vocabulary of 12,500 terms in each language direction (German-English), making it easier for users to live, survive, and work in the lab. The dictionary is useful for understanding manuals, catalogs, and operating instructions that come with lab equipment, as well as for reading and writing publications. The second edition includes 1,000 additional terms.
