Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Is there any iron in moon dust? How much aspirin is there in a headache tablet? What trace metals are there in a tin of tuna? What is the purity and chemical structure of a newly prepared compound? The answers may be given by a simple chemical test or by the use of costly and complex instrumentation. Principles and Practice of Analytical Chemistry provides a basic understanding of the principles, instrumentation, and applications of chemical analysis. The presentation is designed to aid rapid assimilation by emphasizing unifying themes common to groups of techniques and by including short summaries at the beginning of each section. The book gives substantial coverage to high-performance capillary electrophoresis, two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, software for instrument control and real-time data control, and the use of laboratory information management systems.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
