The textbook is based on the APPLIED use of laboratory instrumentation and apparatus in practice in the real working world with absolute minimum use of complex calculations and mathematics. Instrumental theory is kept to a minimum, with useful practical hints and unbiased instruction on lab instruments’ capabilities and operations. All text is in simple to understand language of the complexities of chemical analyses.
