Practice Of Absorption Spectrophotometry

Download or read book Standards and Best Practice in Absorption Spectrometry written by C. Burgess and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1999-03-24 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for academic chemists working in industrial, government and academic laboratories, this book aims to be the definitive guide to standards, compliance and best practice in absorption spectrometry. Compiled by a distinguished team of authors and co-ordinated by the Ultraviolet Spectrometry Group (UVSG), it is essentially a practising analytical chemists' manual. The underlying theory is covered in outline, with references to more fundamental works. The discussion on standards in the first part represents a consensus of informed user opinion and is independent of any commercial bias. The second part contains a guide to the practical application of UV spectrometry written by recognised experts in the field. Part 1 Standards: Overview of UV spectrometry, cell design and construction, instrument design, liquid absorbance standards, solid absorbance standards, stray light, wavelength standards, regulatory overview, recommended procedures for standardisation. Part 2 Practical Absorption Spectrometry: Absorption spectrometry in practice, measuring the spectrum, chemometric techniques and numerical methods, derivative techniques, and automated sampling.
