Intro
This intended to be a source for researchers interested in learning more about instrumental methods for chemical analysis and related procedures. It is especially oriented to those working in areas of water quality and environmental toxicology. The area is divided into:
Reviews - Mass Spec - Sample Prep - Analyte Groups
In each case major publications and unpublished summaries are directly linked to this page. Where substantial primary literature exists in focused journal articles, these are accessed through a secondary link.
