Books in the Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning series

This book provides a low-level introduction to the fundamentals and practical aspects of ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy, the most commonly used and versatile techniques in analytical chemistry.

High performance liquid chromatography is the most powerful of all the chromatographic techniques, often achieving separations and analyses that would be difficult or impossible with other forms of chromatography. This study and training text examines the concepts and techniques used in this field.

Approaches the subject from the perspective of a chromatographer who needs to know enough theory to make the best use of a chosen technique. Emphasizes the actual application of the methods--not just the theories on which they are based. This edition features a number of advances in the field since publication of the first volume.

Biological infrared spectroscopy is a technique for studying the structure of organic molecules applied to the biological sciences. It can be used to determine the structures of proteins and enzymes and is vital to DNA analysis. This is a concise, straightforward book dealing with the infrared spectroscopy for biologists and biochemists.

This second edition of the ACOL text on mass spectrometry has been thoroughly updated to give a modern approach to those beginning to use or study mass spectrometry. As with all the books in the ACOL series, self assessment questions and solutions are included.
