This review is from: ICP Emission Spectrometry: A Practical Guide (Paperback)

This well-written, well-organized book makes an excellent supplement for any ICP chemist, covering a plethora of information from ICP theory, instrumentation, method development, quality control, and trouble shooting. It is ideal for a straight read-through, but will also function well as a quick reference guide that should be kept with the user's guides right next to the ICP computer. Additionally, it offers pages of references to other useful ICP reading materials and data for anyone who wishes to know more about any specific topic covered in the book.
