Short description Chemicals that are listed in the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) are detected and identified using different analytical procedures. These sample collection methods and sample preparation procedures are thoroughly described in this book. Chemical Weapons Convention Chemicals Analysis deals mostly with analytical procedures that can be followed only in well-equipped off-site laboratories (designated laboratories).
