With Catalyst: The Prentice Hall Custom Laboratory Program for Chemistry, you can create a custom introductory, preparatory, liberal arts, general, environmental, analytical, physical, GOB, organic, biochemical, or forensic chemistry laboratory manual that meets your content needs and course organization exactly.

Using our online book-building system, you can view and select the Prentice Hall, Vernier, or Pearson Custom Publishing labs you need, in the sequence you want, at the price you want your students to pay. 

You have the option of publishing your own labs using illustrations from our online Lab Art Library at no additional charge. Add your own course notes and syllabi, or copyrighted material from other publishers: we handle all permissions. Visit the Pearson Custom Lab Publishing Center for more information (click on graphic above).
