Index.
SOMENATH MITRA. PHD, is Professor of Chemistry and Environmental Science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He is coauthor of the textbook Environmental Chemical Analysis. In addition, he has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals of chemistry and analytical sciences.
"...this book provides a wealth of information in a wide variety of
sample preparation techniques. This could be very useful to someone
developing a new method or modifying an existing one." (Inside
Laboratory Management, July/August 2004)
"There is quite a mixture of analytical isolation techniques
covered in this volume. Every analyst will find something of
interest in its pages." (Clinical Chemistry, August 2004)
"...covers some of the more important and widely used sample
preparation techniques that are crucial to the measurement
process." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 126, No.
5)
"...a well-written book useful for a professional chemistry
collection, or a personal office collection..." (E-Streams, Vol. 7,
No. 4)
"...clearly outlines the accepted and preferred practices needed in
a modern analytical laboratory...an excellent resource...it should
be kept nearby as a resource in any serious analytical
lab...essential." (Choice, Vol. 41, No. 8, April 2004)
"This monograph provides a solid and practical overview with depth
on this important topic...the book would be very useful to
individual analysts, biochemists, environmental scientists, and
material scientists, and should certainly be recommended for
addition to almost any library collection." (Journal of Chemical
Education, February 2004)
