Synopsis

Books of related interest from the series, Chemical Analysis: A Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry and Its Applications Modern Methods of Particle Size Analysis Volume 73 Edited by Howard G. Barth, Hercules Incorporated With a focus on new methods of interpreting data, eminent researchers present recent developments in particle size analysis. Coverage of each technique includes its theoretical background, operational principles, advantages, and limitations. Among the topics discussed are instrumentation, dispersions, emulsions, light scattering and diffraction methods, a photon correlation spectroscopy, and the application of chromatographic techniques. Most commercially available systems and experimentally feasible approaches are described. 309 pp. (0-471-87571-6) 1984 Room Temperature Phosphorimetry for Chemical Analysis Volume 68 Tuan Vo-Dinh, Oak Ridge National Laboratory A guide to using room temperature phosphorimetry (RTP), a powerful, efficient new approach in phosphorimetric analysis. Designed for anyone who wishes to apply RTP, or to extend it to various new analytical or physical studies, the book covers this technique more thoroughly and explicitly than any previous monograph. 304 pp. (0-471-87884-7) 1984 Receptor Modeling in Environmental Chemistry Volume 76 Philip K. Hopke, University of Illinois A review of the rapidly growing field of receptor modeling, this book systematically presents the analytical and mathematical methods that have been developed and used in the source appointment of airborne particulate matter--an area where receptor models have been extensively applied. These techniques can also be applied to a variety of problems where the properties of a sample are used to infer the origins of its components. The book serves as a fundamental reference source for analytical and environmental chemists, geologists and air pollution regulators. 319 pp. (0-471-89106-1) 1985

From the Inside Flap

Ultratrace Analysis of Pharmaceuticals and Other Compounds of Interest is a highly useful reference to the many specialized and complicated analyses performed below trace level. The methodologies provided in this manual make it an invaluable research tool for in-depth studies of action, dispositions, and toxic properties of chemicals. It is also an excellent aid in determining the safety of our food, water and environment, and the modes of action of drugs. The book brings together a multitude of applications from science and industry. It includes many specialized methods of analysis performed in clinical, forensic, environmental, and food chemistry research and development. In the first of its two main sections, this important work covers commonly used analytical methods, such as derivatization chromatography, atomic spectrometry, liquid chromatography, including LC/MS and modern thin-layer chromatography. Since immunoassays provide selective applications, they are included in a special chapter on the analysis of drugs and their metabolites. The second section focuses on the applications of ultratrace analyses?addressing the growing concern for the purity of pharmaceutical compounds and excipients. Then, the book shows how ultratrace analyses assist the performance of metabolic and toxicological studies. The last three chapters reveal the importance and applications of these analyses in the use and abuse of drugs in animals and humans. Analytical chemists and scientists who use ultratrace analyses in food, pharmaceutical, and environmental research will find this book vital to their work. It is also relevant and important to technicians and researchers in the forensic field and any area that calls for information at the submicro level.
