About this book

This handbook is unique in its comprehensive coverage of the subject and focus on practical applications in diverse fields. It includes methods for sample preparation, the role of certified reference materials, calibration methods and statistical evaluation of the results. Problems concerning inorganic and bioinorganic speciation analysis, as well as special aspects such as trace analysis of noble metals, radionuclides and volatile organic compounds are also discussed.

A significant part of the content presents applications of methods and procedures in medicine (metabolomics and therapeutic drug monitoring); pharmacy (the analysis of contaminants in drugs); studies of environmental samples; food samples and forensic analytics – essential examples that will also facilitate problem solving in related areas.

Reviews

“This handbook will be useful to both students and scientist who want to broaden their horizons with procedures and techniques used in the world of trace analysis and to people that have been just introduced to this complicated world. It will be of particular interest to analytical chemists, biochemists, physical chemists and radiochemists.” (Panayot Petrov, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 409, 2017)
