Instrumental Methods of Chemical Analysis

This book is written to teach undergraduate students and those working in chemical fields outside analytical chemistry how contemporary analytical instrumentation works, as well as its uses and limitations. The major fields of modern instrumentation are covered, including applications of each type of instrumental technique. This text uniquely combines instrumental analysis namely spectroscopic methods, electro analytical methods, thermal methods and miscellaneous methods of analysis. It provides detailed coverage of sampling, sample handling, sample storage, and sample preparation. In addition, the authors have included many instrument manufacturers and websites, which contain extensive resources.
