Analytical Instrumentation - A Guide to Laboratory, Portable and Miniaturized Instruments was developed whilst preparing and teaching a course entitled 'Instrumentation'. This module is taught to postgraduate students on a Masters in Instrumental Analysis and is an important part of the overall qualification. Analytical instruments have changed rapidly and important part of the overall qualification. Analytical instruments have changed rapidly and dramatically 9in the past two decades. Equipment that was never before seen in a chemistry laboratory is now used routinely. Instruments that were essential ten years ago are now rarely seen. This text informs the reader of analytical instruments available today and dos so from a practical rather than theoretical point of view. Also described are some recent trends in t5eh field such as the development of portable and point-of-care instruments, the significant integration of analytical equipment into industrial processes and the burgeoning area of miniaturization.
