Practical Guide to Icp-Ms - 3rd ed - A Tutorial for Beginners

Zusatztext Praise for the First Edition"Any new user of ICP-MS or anyone contemplating entering the field will find the Practical Guide to ICP-MS an essential first step. This book demystifies ICP-MS and shows readers just how accessible a technique it really is. ? [It] is written clearly and is well organized. ? As a practitioner of ICP-MS for more than 20 years! I highly recommend this book as a primer to students! new users! laboratory managers! and users of ICP-MS data. The price of the book is well worth investing for Chapter 20 alone! which deals with the selection criteria for instrument purchase. More-experienced users and teachers will find that this book is a useful source of information on the current state of ICP-MS and its place in analytical atomic spectrometry."-Spectroscopy Magazine"This book will be particularly useful to students and analytical chemists who are about to use an ICP-MS! and also those in management who might have a basic understanding of atomic spectroscopic techniques but not necessarily ICP-MS. ? [The author] hoped the book might find a place on the analyst's desk or by the instrument and would be well used. Indeed! this is where my copy will probably be found."-The Analyst"? a valuable introduction to the subject for anyone interested in ICP-MS. ? [a] highly informative book ? . "-Today's Chemist at Work"?[this book] highlights everything from basic component descriptions and features to guidelines describing where and when?ICP-MS is most appropriately employed?.I look forward to seeing this book used in many training programs! classrooms! and analysis laboratories." -Ramon M. Barnes! Director! University Research Institute of Analytical Chemistry and Professor Emeritus of Chemistry! University of Massachusetts! Amherst Informationen zum Autor Robert J.
