Getting good answers to experimental chemistry questions has never been especially easy. Limited budgets, limited scope, and new discoveries all make printed reference works less useful than they could be.

Looking for a better way? I'm happy to announce the availability of Chempedia Lab.

What makes Chempedia Lab different? You're in charge.

Searching for the best way to produce small quantities of dry hydrogen chloride gas? Need a prep or supplier for a synthetic intermediate? Have a puzzling nmr spectrum? Wondering about the best technique to measure that reaction rate?

Chempedia Lab is the place to ask these questions - and get answers from other chemists around the world.

You may think this is just another online forum, but it's not. Chempedia Lab is built on a completely new Web-based platform that combines the best aspects of peer-review, blogs, wikis, and Q&A sites.

To celebrate the grand opening of Chempedia Lab, we've teamed up with Made with Molecules and the the makers of Buckyballs to offer some great prizes. Full details are available here.

I invite you to try Chempedia Lab, create a no-password account, and ask a question. If you have an answer, feel free to post it. If something isn't quite right, vote it down, comment on it, or fix it.

With your help, Chempedia Lab can become the laboratory information resource you wish you always had.
