Publisher's Synopsis
Encyclopaedia of Quantitative Chemical Analysis focuses on principles of quantitative chemical analysis. Quantitative chemical analysis, branch of chemistry that deals with the determination of the amount or percentage of one or more constituents of a sample. A variety of methods is employed for quantitative analyses, which for convenience may be broadly classified as chemical or physical, depending upon which properties are utilized. Quantitative Chemical Analysis: An Introduction provides a sound physical understanding of the principles of analytical chemistry, showing how these principles are applied in chemistry and related disciplines-especially in life sciences and environmental science. First chapter aims to reveal the correlation and consistency of quality control in crude herbs, prepared slices, and Radix Isatidis preparations. Second chapter presents a study the indicated that the combination of quantitative and chromatographic fingerprint analysis can be readily utilized as a quality control method for Receptaculum Nelumbinis and its related traditional Chinese medicinal preparations. Third chapter presents the application of ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with LTQ-orbitrap mass spectrometry for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of polygonum multiflorum thumb. and its processed products. Fourth chapter focuses on qualitative and quantitative analysis of rhizoma smilacis glabrae by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with LTQ orbitrapxlhybrid mass spectrometry. Photodiode array detection in clinical applications; quantitative analyte assay advantages, limitations and disadvantages are discussed in fifth chapter. Sixth chapter discusses the quantitative defense traits of forest litter, their effects on litter decomposition and ecosystem functioning. Tandem mass spectrometry for simultaneous qualitative and quantitative analysis of protein has been presented in seventh chapter. Eighth chapter describes the characterization of several X-ray sources and their use in calibrating different types of X-ray cameras at National Security Technologies, LLC (NSTec). Ninth chapter provides a review of all relevant historical data concerning the nature, concentrations and impacts of atmospheric aerosols in southeast Brazil.
