Description This title is the first comprehensive book on sampling and modern sample preparation techniques and has several main objectives: to facilitate
recognition of sample preparation as both an integral part of the analytical process; to present a fundamental basis and unified theoretical
approach for the professional development of sample preparation; to emphasize new developments in sample preparation technology; and
to highlight the future impact of sample preparation on new directions in analytical science, particularly automation, miniaturization
and field implementation.
Until recently, there has been relatively little scientific interest in sampling and sample preparation, however
this situation is presently changing as sampling and sample preparation become integral parts of the analytical process with their own
unique challenges and research opportunities.
Sampling and Sample Preparation for Field and Laboratory is an essential resource for
all analytical chemists, and in particular those involved in method development. Not only does it cover the fundamental aspects of extraction,
it also covers applications in various matrices and includes sampling strategies and equipment and how these can be integrated into the
analytical process for maximum efficiency.
Audience
For all those involved in chemical analysis, as well as for graduate and professional courses.
