JANUSZ PAWLISZYN, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. He is the author of Solid Phase Microextraction (Wiley) and Sampling and Sample Preparation in Field and Laboratory, and has been published in more than four hundred scientific publications. HEATHER L. LORD, PhD, is a Research Associate for New Analytical Methods and Technologies in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Waterloo. She received her PhD in 2005 under Dr. Pawliszyn.

“Handbook of Sample Preparation" is a valuable book dealing with a wide range of state-of-the-art extraction techniques that have been used in many laboratories. Not only a good text book on a variety of extraction techniques, it also enables systematic understanding of the modern sample-preparation methods necessary for workers dealing with the analysis of various complex mixtures.”  (Anal Bioanal Chem, 2011)
