Written as a training manual for chemistry-based laboratory technicians, this thoroughly updated fourth edition of the bestselling Analytical Chemistry for Technicians emphasizes the applied aspects rather than the theoretical ones. The book begins with classical quantitative analysis and follows with a practical approach to the complex world of sophisticated electronic instrumentation commonly used in real-world laboratories. Providing a foundation for the two key qualities-the analytical mindset and a basic understanding of the analytical instrumentation-this book helps prepare individuals for success on the job.
Chapters cover sample preparation; gravimetric analysis; titrimetric analysis; instrumental analysis; spectrochemical methods, such as atomic spectroscopy and UV-Vis and IR molecular spectrometry; chromatographic techniques, including gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography; electroanalytical methods; and more. Incorporating an additional ten years of teaching experience since the publication of the third edition, the author has made significant updates and enhancements to the fourth edition.
More than 150 new photographs and either new or reworked drawings spanning every chapter to assist the visual learner
A new chapter on mass spectrometry, covering GC-MS, LC-MS, LC-MS-MS, and ICP-MS
Thirteen new laboratory experiments
An introductory section before chapter 1 to give students a preview of general laboratory considerations, safety, laboratory notebooks, and instrumental analysis
Additional end-of-chapter problems, expanded "report"-type questions, and inclusion of relevant section headings in the Questions and Problems sections
Application Notes in each chapter
An appendix providing a glossary of quality assurance and good laboratory practice (GLP) terms
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Praise for previous editions:
". . . this book can be a valuable resource for any chemistry student and indeed, for practitioners, laboratory scientists, teachers, and professors-anyone who needs to know something about how laboratory analyses are carried out...Numerous experiments and questions at the end of the chapter illustrate concepts and manipulations taught in that chapter. The accompanying CD-ROM illustrates many of the concepts presented in the book and is designed to reinforce what has been learned. Summing up: Highly Recommended"
-J.A. Siegel, Michigan State University
"[The book has] comprehensive coverage of the analytical techniques students will most likely encounter when entering an industrial position. ... [Charts] ... provide a quick and useful summary of key ideas."
-Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 82, No. 1, January 2005
"It is useful and informative....It is a very good source for many standard chemical test methods not commonly presented in the analytical curriculum."
-Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Vol. 7
