Your lab used to be clean enough. . . Advances in modern analytical instrumentation have made it possible to perform sub-ppb determinations on a routine basis. The analyte levels in the blank may be significant when compared to the sample, so the uncertainty of the blank measurement can obscure the accuracy of the result. Clean handling techniques are required for this type of analysis; your lab, and your methods, must be transformed. What steps do you need to take? Clean chemistry is partly a matter of having the right equipment: ultra-pure reagents, vessels that will not contaminate your samples, air filtering systems, proper clothing, and so on. And clean chemistry is also a state of mind—a state of constant awareness. It involves knowing exactly what you are doing at any given moment, and how those actions will affect the analytical blank. This book is a guide to creating the kind of lab you'll need to conduct trace-level chemistry. In these pages, clean chemistry expert Dr. Robert Richter will teach you:

This book is an indication of the breadth of microwave-enhanced chemistry as a new branch of chemical science. Microwave radiation can be used in many fields of chemistry in addition to sample preparation, decomposition, and extraction. It is now commonly used in the synthesis of organic, organometallic, inorganic compounds, and catalysts. Microwave-assisted sample preparation has become a standard method in thousands of analytical chemical laboratories, and many other chemical manipulations are in the process of standardizing procedures that depend on microwave technology. This book was developed as an international reference text. Microwave-Enhanced Chemistry reviews the fundamental literature, discusses the fundamental theory for supporting the development of sample preparation microwave methods and environmental and industrial applications. Including the primary reference that supports the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency along with other national and international standard microwave sample preparation methods, it details the new and emerging applications and instrumentation in this field. Fundamental databases are included to provide analysts with new reference information to support chemical analysis. This book is available directly from Milestone for $109.95 (available in North America only). Call (866) 995-5100 to order.
While ICP-MS has been a commercially available method of multi-element and multi-isotope analysis since 1983, the growing number of ICP-MS manufacturers entering the marketplace in the 1990s led to an exponential increase in its use. This, in turn, has led to a profusion of novel applications and analytical findings and a concurrent explosion in literature on the subject. Bringing together the insights and expertise of 27 scientists from seven countries, this A-to-Z guide to performing ICP-MS reflects all of the important recent developments in the field. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry equips students, laboratory managers, and professionals with current comprehensive coverage and is an indespensable working resource for analytical chemists and spectroscopists.
Of special note:
Contemporary Chemical Analysis is an undergraduate text that discusses the principles of analytical chemistry while covering the range of applications of analytical chemical methods.
