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.
This valuable resource covers the principles of analytical instrumentation used by today's chemists and biologists and presents important advances in instrumentation, such as the drive to miniaturise and lab-on-a-chip devices. In terms of the lab-based analytical instrumentation, the five main categories of technique - spectroscopic, chromatographic, electrochemical, imaging and thermoanalytical, are included and presented in a practical, not theoretical way.
Including relevant examples and applications in a number of fields such as healthcare, environment and pharmaceutical industry this book provides a complete overview of the instruments used within the chemistry industry, making this an important tool for professionals and students alike.
