Short description
Practical, not theoretical, Instrumentation Analysis: A Guide to Laboratory, Portable and Miniaturized Instruments covers the principles of analytical instrumentation used by today's chemists and biologists and presents important advances in instrumentation, such as the drive to miniaturize lab-on-a-chip devices. In terms of the lab-based analytical instrumentation, the book includes the five main categories of technique: spectroscopic, chromatographic, electrochemical, imaging, and thermoanalytical.
