ADD SOLVENT MICROEXTRACTION TO YOUR ANALYTICAL TOOLKIT WITH THIS HANDS-ON GUIDE

This timely resource turns solvent microextraction (SME) into a practical analysis tool that analytical chemists will find to be a powerful adjunct to established sample preparation methods.

Whether you're involved in sample preparation and analysis of solid, liquid, or atmospheric environmental, clinical, or industrial samples, Solvent Microextraction: Theory and Practice includes the information you need to integrate this cutting-edge sample preparation technique into your everyday practice, including:

• Insightful comparisons with other popular sampling methods
  
• A theoretical discussion of SME, supported by examples of how theory impacts real samples
  
• An extensive bibliography of nearly 600 application references, updated to 2009
  
• A detailed compilation of experimental parameters and summaries of published procedures to aid in method development
  
• More than a dozen experimental procedures for the most commonly used SME modes, with an emphasis on how to effectively apply the technique
  
• SME modes classification and glossary to facilitate further study and research
  
• A skill-sharpening CD-ROM that contains summaries of nearly 600 publications using SME

Written by the leading experts on SME technology, Solvent Microextraction is a time- and money-saving sourcebook that serves as both a convenient desk reference for the laboratory and an indispensable teaching tool. Most importantly, it goes beyond a compilation of reference material, providing you with a much-needed guide to proper experimental procedures, and a blueprint for understanding how and why the SME technique works.
