Mass Spectrometry of Non-Covalent Complexes: Supramolecular Chemistry in the Gas Phase
Date: Sep 18, 2009
Author: Christoph A. Schalley, Andreas Springer
Details the many benefits of applying mass spectrometry to supramolecular chemistry Except as a method for the most basic measurements, mass spectrometry (MS) has long been considered incompatible with supramolecular chemistry. Yet, with today's methods, the disconnect between these two fields is not warranted. Mass Spectrometry and Gas-Phase Chemistry of Non-Covalent Complexes provides a convincing look at how modern MS techniques offer supramolecular chemists a powerful investigatory...

Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy: Techniques and Applications
Date: Aug 27, 2009
Author: Giel Berden, Richard Engeln
Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) is a simple, highly sensitive direct absorption technique based on the rate of absorption of light circulating in an optical cavity. CRDS can be used to study atoms and molecules in the gas and condensed phase, and is especially powerful for measuring strong absorptions of species present in trace amounts or weak absorptions of abundant species. The technique can be applied in physical, atmospheric, environmental and analytical chemistry, also combustion science,...

Chemometrics for Pattern Recognition
Date: Aug 21, 2009
Author: Richard Brereton
Over the past decade, pattern recognition has been one of the fastest growth points in chemometrics. This has been catalysed by the increase in capabilities of automated instruments such as LCMS, GCMS, and NMR, to name a few, to obtain large quantities of data, and, in parallel, the significant growth in applications especially in biomedical analytical chemical measurements of extracts from humans and animals, together with the increased capabilities of desktop computing. The interpretation of such...

Miniaturization of Analytical Systems: Principles, Designs and Applications
Date: Aug 14, 2009
Author: Angel Rios, Alberto Escarpa, Bartolome Simonet
The book describes a general vision of the miniaturization of the analytical systems, including their principles, designs and applications. Through ten chapters the different aspects characterizing the miniaturized systems are developed. Thus, the two first chapters include the basic concepts behind miniaturization in analytical chemistry, as well as the mechanical and electronic tools needed for designing and fabricating miniaturized analytical systems. Chapters 3 to 6 represent the core of the...

Nano Chromatography and Capillary Electrophoresis: Pharmaceutical and Environmental Analyses
Date: Apr 21, 2009
Author: Imran Ali, Hassan Y. Aboul-Enein
Detection of drugs at low concentration is required in a variety of biological and medical situations, in order to avoid harmful side effects posed by some drug residues. The book details the instrumentation, detection, and application of nano chromatography (that is, any chromatographic and capillary electrophoretic method dealing with the detection of a sample at nano gram per liter or lower) and capillary electrophoresis in the analyses of biological and environmental samples. Methods discussed include:...
