Chemical Analysis: Third Edition is an essential introduction to a wide range of analytical techniques and instruments. Assuming little in the way of prior knowledge, this text carefully guides the reader through the more widely used and important techniques, while avoiding excessive technical detail. Covering both instrumental techniques and the scenarios in which they are used, the text maintains a balance between breadth and depth of coverage. Carefully structured, this book differentiates between separation and spectral methods, as well as including a section on more specialised techniques. Provides a thorough introduction to a wide range of the most important and widely used instrumental techniques Maintains a careful balance between depth and breadth of coverage Includes examples, problems and their solutions Includes coverage of latest developments including supercritical fluid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis, miniaturized sensors, automatic analyzers, digitization and computing power.
