Modern Instrumental Analysis

by Satinder Ahuja, Neil Jespersen

Overview

Modern Instrumental Analysis covers the fundamentals of instrumentation and provides a thorough review of the applications of this technique in the laboratory. It will serve as an educational tool as well as a first reference book for the practicing instrumental analyst. The text covers five major sections:1. Overview, Sampling, Evaluation of Physical Properties, and Thermal Analysis2. Spectroscopic Methods 3. Chromatographic Methods 4. Electrophoretic and Electrochemical Methods 5. Combination Methods, Unique Detectors, and Problem Solving Each section has a group of chapters covering important aspects of the titled subject, and each chapter includes applications that illustrate the use of the methods. The chapters also include an appropriate set of review questions.
