Instrumental Methods of Analysis

Instrumental Methods of Analysis imparts fundamental knowledge on the principles and instrumentation of some of the most commonly used spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. This book caters to the need of the students and analysts in various fields for a thorough understanding of the construction of various analytical instruments and their principles. A detailed study of the book will make the readers proficient in spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques that are covered in the book, their applications including limitations.
The book is divided into two sections: The first section covers the spectroscopic techniques. All the topics of this section include a detailed description of the concepts involved, instrumentation and applications of different techniques with illustrations.
The second section describes the different chromatographic techniques which include an introduction to chromatography. This section gives a detailed note on various terminologies used in chromatography along with theoretical knowledge on the methodology, stationary and mobile phases along with their applications and limitations.
