Product Description Instrumental Analysis provides a rigorous, modern, and engaging coverage of chemical instrumentation, written with the undergraduate student in mind. At its core, Instrumental Analysis includes the underlying theory, instrumental design, applications and operation of spectroscopic, electroanalytical, chromatographic, and mass spectral instrumentation. It provides students with the requisite skills to identify the comparative advantages and disadvantages in choosing one analytical technique over another by combining direct comparisons of the techniques with a discussion of how these choices affect the interpretation of the data in its final form. Review I like this book's simplicity and the way it addresses its audience of predominantly undergraduate students. They key concepts were presented seamlessly with related topics for typical one-semester undergraduate instrumental analysis courses.--Dan Sykes, Pennsylvania State University Instrumental Analysis is a much-needed introductory undergraduate textbook. It provides sufficient introductory information for undergraduates along with crucial emphasis on microscale, nano, portable, and other new instrumentation. This text covers everything, the organization is clear, and the writing is easy to understand.--Tami Lasseter Clare, Portland State University About the Author Robert M.
