Chemical Analysis: Modern Methods and Techniques

Chemical analysis is a process that involves determining the physical properties or chemical composition of samples of matter. In the field of analytical chemistry, various techniques are used for detecting, identifying, characterizing and quantifying chemical compounds. Mass spectrometry is an important technique of chemical analysis that is used extensively in proteomics for detecting and identifying molecules according to their masses. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is another analytical technique used to separate, identify and quantify the different components of a mixture according to different characteristics such as size of the components and their affinity for a ligand. Calorimetry is yet another chemical analysis technique used in drug design, quality control and metabolic rate examination. This book provides significant information of analytical chemistry to help develop a good understanding of the different chemical analysis procedures. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers updated with the global concepts in this area of study. This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying chemical analysis procedures as it gives incredible insights into emerging methods and techniques.
