Handbook of Sample Preparation

Discover new keys to solving analytical problems using the Latest sample preparation methods Commonly viewed of as a routine task rather than as an integral component in the analytical process, sample preparation has long been undervalued as a science and underdeveloped as a technology. In an effort to reverse this trend, Handbook of Sample Preparation shows why sample preparation deserves closer scientific scrutiny, and makes a compelling case for colleges and professional laboratories to devote more resources to promote the benefits of its correct application. Handbook of Sample Preparation includes: A solid overview of standard sampling methodologies and their analytical capabilitiesAn introduction of non-traditional sampling technologies, which address the need for solvent-free alternatives, automation, and miniaturizationA discussion of the analytical shift toward performing sampling on-site, rather than in the laboratory
