Books in the Practical Spectroscopy series

Helps to improve fundamentals and applications of various modes of x-ray spectrometry, including total reflection and polarized beam x-ray fluorescence analysis, and synchrotron radiation induced x-ray emission. This title intends to promote the measurement of samples while reducing the scattered background in the x-ray spectrum.

This book is intended to serve as an up-to-date reference source for those familiar with chromatography/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) methods and as an introduction to techniques and applications for those interested in future uses for chromatography/FT-IR.

Offers coverage of internal reflection spectroscopy (IRS) and its applications to polymer, semiconductor, biological, electrochemical and membrane research. This work describes the theory and procedures and identifies the spectral regions, from materials characterization to process monitoring.

Summarizes breakthroughs in the theory and instrumentation of electro spray mass spectrometry in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. This book includes topics such as chemical and electrophoretic techniques for rapid sample preconcentration and separation, and screening processes for proteins from libraries of compounds.
