Undergraduate Instrumental Analysis Sixth Edition

About this book

Completely rewritten revised and updated this Sixth Edition reflects the latest technologies and applications in spectroscopy mass spectrometry and chromatography. It illustrates practices and methods specific to each major chemical analytical technique while showcasing innovations and trends currently impacting the field. Many of the chapters have been individually reviewed by teaching professors and include descriptions of the fundamental principles underlying each technique demonstrations of the instrumentation and new problem sets and suggested experiments appropriate to the topic.
