Handbook of Sample Preparation (PDF)

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 capabilities

* An introduction of non-traditional sampling technologies, which
address the need for solvent-free alternatives, automation, and
miniaturization

* A discussion of the analytical shift toward performing sampling
on-site, rather than in the laboratory

* An examination of various extraction technologies and their
applications for different types of matrices

* A look at how to take advantage of new sampling strategies to
streamline laboratory procedures, reduce research costs, and
increase overall productivity

An excellent primer on the fundamentals of extraction as well as
a sound guide on the latest technological upgrades influencing
current sampling techniques, this versatile text serves as an
important and accessible tool for both students and seasoned
practitioners as they seek new avenues for improving the accuracy
of their analyses.
