Chiral Analysis covers an important area of analytical chemistry of relevance to a wide variety of scientific professionals. The target audience is scientific professionals with an undergraduate background in chemistry or a related discipline, specifically organic chemists, researchers in drug discovery, pharmaceutical researchers involved with process analysis or combinatorial libraries, and graduate students in chemistry. Chapters have been written with the nonspecialist in mind so as to be self-contained.

* Broad coverage - spectroscopic and separation methods covered in a...

This text presents a unified treatment of multichannel detection systems in the UV/visible range of the spectrum as they relate to multielement spectrochemical analysis. It bridges the gap between the physics and engineering aspects of multichannel detection and analytical chemistry. The first section deals with the foundation optical principles of modern experimental spectroscopy. The second section treats the basic operation of detectors for optical spectroscopy, and the third discusses topics related to combining detectors with optical spectrometers to produce detection systems for...
