Product Description
In the recent past quantitative chemical analysis textbook writers included selected experiments to complete and complement the text and thus give instructors a choice to select the experiments to be performed by students in quantitative analysis course. On the other hand, this is not so for courses in instrumental analysis which is a sequential course to quantitative analysis. This is, perhaps, due to the numerous instrumental techniques that have been developed over the years for chemical analysis. In its stead, textbooks on experiments in instrumental analysis are common, and these are as diversified as the topics covered in lecture courses.Most of the experimental topics covered, especially, in quantitative analysis, lean heavily on determination of materials or compounds of inorganic chemistry origin. This seems to be the tradition with only a few exceptions.However, recently, textbooks on quantitative analysis have emerged and continue to emerge, without any experimental section. This is not quite surprising though, since many instructors nowadays, tend to design their own experiments to suit and complement their lecture materials. On the other hand, the trend in the production of books on instrumental analysis experiments has remained the same.The objective of this book is therefore two fold. One is to design a reasonably comprehensive laboratory text that embodies both areas of analytical chemistry. The other is to shy away from the tradition of making quantitative analysis experiments lean too heavily on inorganic materials. To this end, several topics ranging from inorganic to organic materials are included in this laboratory text book. A new element is also introduced in this book. That is, students are exposed throughout the book to the analysis of compounds of pharmaceutical relevance. ... Read more

Nice draft.
I really like the idea of this book.I got it with plans to use (at least some of) the experiments in my instrumental analysis class, and I'm definitely taking some of it for that purpose.

Concerning the experiments - I would have liked to see more background information.I try to give a little more context & background on why the analyte and sample material are interesting or significant, and this is largely missing from most of the experiments.As an instructor, additional background is also needed:Potential interferents, expected range for the analyte in the sample, etc.Instructors should probably test each method on their own equipment to get this information, which makes the book less useful as an "automatic" source of lab handouts.Only three "separation" experiments are included, one of which is really a liquid-liquid extraction to measure the distribution coefficient.

Production values - book is effectively self-published and it really needs some professional help.Some of the figures are well drawn, while others are reproduced from computer images so that they're nearly illegible.Some of the equations are correctly typeset, while others (again) are copy & pasted into the text as (low resolution) images.(In some chapters they alternate, which is particularly jarring.)One table in the appendix appears to end prematurely.

Hopefully the author will be encouraged by the success of this edition to pursue a professionally published followup; there's definitely a need for well-researched and easy-to-follow lab procedures for advanced labs. ... Read more

Product Description
Quantitative calculations are common everyday practice for the analytical chemist in his laboratory work.

This book aims at familiarizing students and technicians with such calculations done in pharmaceutical analysis, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical chemistry, physical pharmacy and radiopharmacy. It exposes the reader to various approaches for problem solving and aids in consolidating theoretical knowledge by applying it to the solution of real problems.

Structured in 15 chapters, each one containing a short introduction of the relevant theory and equations to facilitate the comprehension of theoretical principles and the solution of the relevant problems. ... Read more

Product Description
Physicians, scientists, medical technologists interested in diagnostic immunology are concerned with the determination of the body's immune status, measurement of the response to infection and the effects of over-and under-simulation of the response. Until now, there has been no book that covered this expanding and increasingly important field. 'The Principles and Practice of Diagnostic Immunology' details the art and science of diagnostic immunology. Unlike other books, this one is not about theories, but laboratory practice. Detailed coverage of procedures and techniques; comprehensive description of diagnostic immunology; explanation of methods and theories involved; full interpretation of the results; clinical correlations and rational for use of these tests; problem solving, what to do when the testing protocols don't work, are all covered throughly in this exciting new volume. Above all an enlightening section on laboratory management make this book an invaluable reference for all professionals and students interested in diagnostic immunology. ... Read more
