This book offers a concise introduction to one of the most important modern analytical methods. Accordingly, its emphasis is on practical guidance. Discussion of the underlying theory is restricted to the bare minimum. It gives practical instruction in the operation of spectrometers, sample preparation and measurement techniques. Carefully selected examples guide readers in the qualitative interpretation of spectra and in the application of computers, and provide an insight into the latest developments in the field. The book also includes sections on quantitative determination and specialist applications, plus references to the more advanced literature. It is organized such that individual chapters can be studied independently of each other. A solid introduction to practical IR spectroscopy for both students and practitioners.

The "Handbook of Analytical Techniques" serves as a concise, one-stop reference source for every professional, researcher, or student using analytical techniques. All relevant spectroscopic, chromatographic, and electrochemical techniques are described, including chemical and biochemical sensors, as well as e. g. thermal analysis, bioanalytical, nuclear or radiochemical techniques. Special articles are devoted to general topics such as chemometrics, sampling, and sample preparation. All articles were written and reviewed by acknowledged experts. They cover the fundamentals, instrumentation, and applications of each technique. Numerous references for each article facilitate access to the primary literature. This two-volume handbook comprises almost 1,200 pages with more than 900 figures and has an attractive two-column page layout. It is the key source for problemsolving in all areas of analysis, e. g. of food, water, wastewater, air, soil, biomolecules, pharmaceuticals, or for materials characterization.

Das Analytiker-Taschenbuch bietet mit seinen sehr aktuellen und praxisbezogenen Beitragen zu Grundlagen, Methoden und Anwendungen analytisch-chemischer Verfahren eine wahre Fundgrube fur alle Praktiker in den Bereichen Analytische Chemie, Lebensmittel- und Umweltchemie, Klinische Chemie, Werkstofforschung und Biotechnologie. Die komprimierte Darstellung und die bewusst ausgewahlten Literaturangaben ermoeglichen dem Spezialisten ein effizientes Einarbeiten und Adaptieren der Methodik und dem Nicht-Spezialisten einen schnellen UEberblick. Den Schwerpunkt des Bandes bilden die analytische Echtheitsbewertung naturlicher Duft- und Aromastoffe mittels Isotop-Ratio-MS und CGC, die Kapillarelektrophorese sowie Elutions- und Extraktionsverfahren fur mobile Kontaminanten in Feststoffen.
