The first book you have to read about SPME!, May 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Solid Phase Microextraction: Theory and Practice (Hardcover)
This book was written by Prof Janusz Pawliszyn of Waterloo University (Toronto, Canada), the maker of SPME, a new solvent-free technique which combine sample preparation and sampling, and is a milestone for new millennium chemistry. Theoretical basis of SPME (thermodynamics and kinetics) are well explained and the steps for the development of method are thoroughly described. The book is complete with application notes about sampling in different matrixes and examples of use of this powerful technique in different fields (clinical, forensic, pharmaceutical), and take a look at future applications (e.g. industrial hygiene, field and biological samples, in-fibre derivatization). A very good book essential for chemists and not only for chemists....strongly recommended!
