Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy

"Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry: Practices and Techniques describes the basic principles of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry as an elemental chemical analysis tool. In addition to emphasizing the configuration of instrumentation and the operational characteristics of the techniques, the book provides thought-provoking ideas about how the practicing analytical chemist can use the advantageous features of ICP-MS technology to solve difficult trace element analysis problems.

It also includes information on processing and interpreting results to obtain high-quality data.".

"The book is excellent as a textbook for short courses on atomic spectrometric analytical techniques, trace element analysis, instrumental analysis, and analytical chemistry. It is also appropriate as a supplementary text for graduate courses involving analytical chemistry or trace element analysis, particularly in chemistry, environmental science, geology, engineering, oceanography, archeology, physics, and biology.

In addition, this text will provide an ideal reference book for practicing analytical chemists in industrial, governmental, and academic laboratories, especially scientists who have not had previous exposure to this technology."--BOOK JACKET.
