Description
Reviews / Votes
"The authors have done an outstanding job summarizing the key points and potential problems that can be encountered in trace organic analysis. From statistics and quality control to sample collection and cleanup and continuing through instrumental approaches and applications, this book will serve as a great teaching tool and resource to everyone working in trace organic analysis."Melissa M. Phillips in: Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (2018) 410: 3931-3932, published online 16 May 2018
