You could always ask your librarian to request some articles from Microgram
. The distribution of the magazine is limited, the distribution of requested articles by libraries is not. Although the scientific contribution of Microgram is rather low (you won't find sensational new synthesis routes or hidden possibilities to double your yields), it is a very useful magazine, especially for newbees. It regularly contains reviews of synthesis routes, together with suspected impurities etc. But very interesting - and that is to everyone - are the pages that deal with new finds and oddities: heroine from Pakistan is blablabla, meth lab bust in Cali reveals new synth method blablabla, newest blotting paper from Kansas blablabla, DEA's plans for the future *cough*, Training sessions (by for instance the DEA
) etc etc etc.
SWiM has a couple of their articles, and he is delighted a bee made the effort to put all their abstracts online. For who can get this magazine, try and read it... The title could have been
Official Forensic Chemistry Bulletin of the DEA as well... Thanks ChemisTris!
