About Book
The Textbook of Instrumental Methods of Analysis provides a comprehensive overview of key analytical techniques used in modern scientific laboratories. It begins with an in-depth exploration of UV-Visible spectroscopy, covering the theory behind electronic transitions, the role of chromophores and auxochromes, and the impact of solvents on spectral data. The principles and mathematical foundation of Beer and Lambert’s law are explained along with common deviations. The section also describes critical components of UV instrumentation including radiation sources, wavelength selectors, detectors, and sample cells. Applications such as spectrophotometric titrations and both single and multi-component analysis are discussed.
The book continues with fluorimetry, emphasizing the theory behind fluorescence, the influence of singlet and triplet states, and factors like quenching that impact signal intensity. IR spectroscopy is covered in detail, explaining molecular vibrations, instrumentation, and various detectors like the Golay cell and thermopile. Flame photometry and atomic absorption spectroscopy are presented with clarity, outlining their principles, interferences, and applications.
Chapters on nepheloturbidometry and chromatography introduce important separation techniques. The text delves into classical and modern chromatographic methods including thin-layer chromatography, paper chromatography, and electrophoresis, offering practical methodology, advantages, and applications. Advanced topics such as gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ion exchange, gel, and affinity chromatography are addressed with discussions on theory, instrumentation, and real-world uses. This textbook is structured to support students and professionals in understanding both the theoretical background and practical implementation of instrumental analysis techniques, making it an essential resource for courses in pharmaceutical, chemical, and biological sciences.
