For senior/graduate level courses in Instrumental Analysis.

This text provides a rigorous, yet readable, introduction to instrumental methods of chemical analysis—providing a greater emphasis on principles and a balance of topics closer to contemporary analytical practice than other texts. It features a large number of examples of real-world applications from current journals—showing how the principles and practices of analytical chemistry are used to produce answers to questions in all areas of scientific study and practice. The text also features a strong emphasis on teaching students analytical chemistry problem-solving skills.

  • Includes a unique, highly-praised chapter on Fourier transforms. (Chapter 17)
    • Helps students understand digital signal treatment, a key part of modern instrumentation.

  • Covers issues involved in sampling and sample preparation. (Chapters 3-5)
    • Gives students a thorough understanding and improved practice of sampling and sample preparation, since the results of instrumental analyses can be no better than the samples analyzed.

  • Includes the most up-to-date coverage of techniques used in industry today—e.g., electro-separations and supercritical fluid chromatography. Considers electro-separations—a technique that is becoming more important everyday for areas like biochemistry, medicine, and microbiology. (Chapter 16)
    • Provides numerous examples of the key instrumental techniques used today.

  • Separates discussions of data analysis and reliability from those of instrument design.
    • Allows the instructor to choose the balance between these aspects of analysis. Ex.___

  • Illustrates real contemporary problems and shows the factors that must be taken into consideration in order to approach them effectively.
    • Provides students with useful problem-solving skills. Ex.___

  • Features applications boxesAnalytical Chemistry in Action—and exercises.
    • Shows students how the techniques of instrumental analysis have been used to solve interesting and important problems in areas ranging from astronomy to zoology. Ex.___

  • Offers optional sections labeled A Deeper Look .
    • Provide instructors with flexibility, offering more detailed treatment of specific topics without interrupting the narrative of the text. Ex.___

  • The strong pedagogy programs includes problems and applications examples from contemporary literature, numerous worked examples throughout, answers to all numerical problems, and a number of problems that call for the use of a spreadsheet to generate data that is then plotted to show trends.
    • Piques student interest while showing how real problems are attacked, and breaks complex problems down into steps that lead students to the solution. Ex.___

  • Provides an annotated bibliography—With brief summaries of suggested further readings, not just a list of references.
    • Gives students information about the approach, depth, and clarity of each suggested reading. Ex.___
