This handbook is a guide for workers in analytical chemistry who need a starting place for information about a specific instrumental technique. It gives a basic introduction to the techniques and provides leading references on the theory and methodology for an instrumental technique. This edition thoroughly expands and updates the chapters to include concepts, applications, and key references from recent literature. It also contains a new chapter on process analytical technology.

A comprehensive, in-depth reference designed for professionals, Analytical Instrumentation Handbook explains the pros and cons of different types of analytical instruments, presents a detailed overview of each significant area of analytical chemistry in which modern instruments play a major part, provides special coverage on the application of computers in analytical chemistry, includes more than 1,800 up-to-date references, over 450 illustrations, plus extensive end-of-chapter bibliographies, and more. - Back cover.

A revised and updated guide to reference material. It contains selective and evaluative entries to guide the enquirer to the best source of reference in each subject area, be it journal article, CD-ROM, on-line database, bibliography, encyclopaedia, monograph or directory. It features full critical annotations and reviewers' comments and comprehensive author-title and subject indexes. The contents include: mathematics; astronomy and surveying; physics; chemistry; earth sciences; palaeontology; anthropology; biology; natural history; botany; zoology; patents and interventions; medicine; engineering; transport vehicles; agriculture and livestock; household management; communication; chemical industry; manufactures; industries, trades and crafts; and the building industry.

Compiled by the editor of Dekker's distinguished Chromatographic Science series, this reader-friendly reference is as a unique and stand-alone guide for anyone requiring clear instruction on the most frequently utilized analytical instrumentation techniques. More than just a catalog of commercially available instruments, the chapters are wri

Cell Biology plays a relevant role in understanding the effects of xenobiotics on organisms and ecosystems because the cell is the site of xenobiotic accumulation, metabolism and reaction, and offers tools and new approaches for the biological assessment of pollution, such as the use of cultured cells in toxicity testing and cellular biomarkers in environmental monitoring. This book comprises reviews of the existing knowledge and new ideas put forward during a course held in the University of the Basque Country in June 1994. It has been designed to provide a rational assessment of current potential methods and concepts to solve problems as well as directions for future research.

Vols. 8-10 of the 1965-1984 master cumulation constitute a title index.
