Modern Instrumental Analysis

Modern Instrumental Analysis covers the foundations of instrumentation. It will serve as a practicing instrumental analyst. The text covers five major sections:
1. Overview, Sampling, Evaluation of Physical Properties, and Thermal Analysis
2. Spectroscopic Methods
3. Chromatographic Methods
4. Electrophoretic and Electrochemical Methods
5. Combination Methods, Unique Detectors, and Problem Solving

Each section has a group of chapters. The chapters also include an appropriate set of review questions.

* Covers the fundamentals of instrumentation as well as key applications
* Each chapter includes review questions that reinforce concepts
* Serves as a quick reference and comprehensive guidebook for practitioners and students alike
