Description
This book aims to provide scientists with information about a series of techniques that can be used with a view to facilitating the transformation
of the sample to an appropriate state for subsequent detection or quantitation of its components of interest. The techniques dealt with
range from the very simple ones (e.g. freeze-drying) to other more complex ones (e.g. glow discharge and laser-induced breakdown sampling).
This is the first compilation ever on the subjects of acceleration of solid sample pretreatment; automation of solid sample pretreatment;
and integration of solid sample pretreatment and detection. Readers will find here the information required to compare and select the
best choice for each sample treatment need and ways to facilitate or automate the most complex and time-consuming step of the analytical
process when solid samples are involved.
Audience
For Departments of Chemistry, Biology, Veterinary, Health and Engineering. Also for use by environmental agencies and public and private laboratories of analysis.
