Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning – serie

High performance liquid chromatography is the most powerful of all the chromatographic techniques, often achieving separations and analyses that would be difficult or impossible with other forms of chromatography. This study and training text examines the concepts and techniques used in this field. A selection of literature available from equipment manufacturers is included along with a brief review of some more specialized topics.

Approaches the subject from the perspective of a chromatographer who needs to know enough theory to make the best use of a chosen technique. Emphasizes the actual application of the methods--not just the theories on which they are based. This edition features a number of advances in the field since publication of the first volume. These include new chapters on high resolution gas chromatography (GC), GC detectors and classification of GC. Self-assessment questions ensure full understanding of the concepts.

This book provides a low-level introduction to the fundamentals and practical aspects of ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy, the most commonly used and versatile techniques in analytical chemistry. The second edition includes chapters on the increasingly used new derivative techniques, as well as new examples and applications taken from industry and the academic literature. Easily accesible to the novice. Includes self-assessment questions with responses and numerous examples.

This thoroughly updated second edition of the ACOL text on Mass Spectrometry gives a modern approach to those beginning to use or study mass spectrometry. Self assessment questions and solutions are included. Fundamentals and modern instrumental techniques are also covered in this book.
