Samples of Analysis

Synopsis: About chemical detectives - analysts with ingenious machines searching amongst the chemical fingerprints of samples provided by patients in a hospital and potential insecticides from an agrochemical research centre. These are the essential backroom chemists who aid the doctor in diagnosing and treating rare metabolic diseases in children, and help the agrochemical researchers to find more effective and selective insecticides that will kill the target but not harm beneficial insects. Filmed at Children’s Hospital, Sheffield, and Shell Research Centre, Sittingbourne.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
