Analytical Instrumentation Handbook

Compiled by the editor of Dekker’s distinguished Chromatographic Science series, this reader-friendly reference is as a unique and stand-alone guide for anyone requiring clear instruction on the most frequently utilized analytical instrumentation techniques. More than just a catalog of commercially available instruments, the chapters are written from the standpoint of instrumentation as it is in use today, with an introductory description of the technique(s) and a theoretical treatment of the science and technology, wherever it is applicable or where it will facilitate an understanding of the instrumentation.

Helps researchers and specialists select the most appropriate technique for their particular application.

...it would be difficult for a reader not ot find a chapter of interest. ...Photoacoustic spectroscopy provided some very interesting detailed .... For me, it is these examples that bring a technique to life. ... In summary, I certainly see this book as a useful addition to a library's reference section and particularly valuable for students studying modern instrumental analytical techniques.
