Inductively Coupled Plasmas in Analytical Atomic Spectrometry

The broadest source of information on analytical ICP spectrometry available in a coherent, single volume. Renowned contributors define theory, diagnostics, models, instrumentation and applications. They also discuss atomic emission, atomic fluorescence and mass spectrometries based on ICP sources for atomization, excitation and ionization. "This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." Analytical Chemistry "... a handy reference for anyone attempting to understand the theory of ICPs and how they work. The detailed discussions of the various types of instrumentation and methods will be quite helpful to students and researchers in the field who want to broaden their understanding of analytical atomic spectroscopy." Applied Spectroscopy "...Everyone involved in elemental analysis using ICP should have this book. It is useful for both experienced and novice ICP spectroscopists." Spectroscopy
