Description
Modern chemical instrumentation now uses some very sophisticated measurement techniques and it can also be very expensive. To use an instrument safely, properly and to best effect, the analyst needs to have an understanding of the basic principles of instrumentation science and technology. Instrumentation does not seek to provide a comprehensive catalogue of different chemical instruments but to introduce the fundamental concepts common to many instruments. Amongst the subjects reviewed are the role of electricity in instruments, electrical measurements, Fourier transform and data handling components.
