Bøker i Chemical Analysis: A Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry and Its Applications-serien

When bombarded with X-rays, solid materials produce distinct scattering patterns similar to fingerprints. X-ray powder diffraction is a technique used to fingerprint solid samples, which are then identified and cataloged for future use-much the way the FBI keeps fingerprints on file.

Describes the basic prerequisities for a fluorometric immunoassay: the antibody, the immunological technology, the fluorescent probe, and the instrument. Provides a profile of the clinical applications of the various assay technologies.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were one of the first chemicals discovered to cause cancer in humans. This work covers polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with larger than seven rings. It has chapters devoted to sample handling and preparation and methodology.

Details methods for computing valid limits of detection.

X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) is a method of "fingerprinting" and identifying solid and liquid samples. Written by the leading international expert in the field, this totally-revised update provides an up-to-the-minute review of the progress of XRF in the last ten years, covering history, design, application, and interpretation.

This new edition includes: A chapter on the use of computer techniques in archaeological chemistry. A condensed introductory chapter, so that readers can get right into the "meat" of the book. Updated material on all the methods and techniques used to study the nature, age, and provenance of archaeological materials.

The authors are pioneering a new approach to classifying existing chemometric techniques for data analysis in one and two dimensions, using a practical applications approach to illustrating chemical examples and problems. Written in a simple, balanced, applications-based style, the book will appeal to both theorists and non-mathematicians.

This volume provides modern and practical analytical methodologies for the assays in foods, pharmaceuticals and clinical samples. Each chapter is written by experts in the particular area and includes original methods and the normal values which would be expected.

High performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) is a rapidly developing technology for separating and analyzing chemical compounds. The rapid developments in the field and the large number of journal publications have made it increasingly difficult to find essential and practical knowledge of HPCE easily.

This book concerns the design, operation and application of devices capable of generating acoustic waves in the ultrasonic frequency range. It emphasizes the study of chemical and/or biochemical systems imposed on the surface of such devices, whether operated in the gas- or liquid-phase, ie on acoustic wave chemical and biological sensors.

Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (GFAAS) is an established analytical laboratory technique used to examine materials in their vapor state by atomizing the sample in a graphite furnace. This approach is used mostly in the materials science and environmental analysis to examine alloys, polymers, ceramics, composites, and wastewater.
