Dieser praxisbezogene Überblick über alle in der klinischen Chemie und Labormedizin eingesetzten elektroanalytischen Verfahren ist derzeit das einzige umfassende Werk zu diesem Thema auf dem Markt. Der Autor stellt die theoretischen Grundlagen vor und verdeutlicht an zahlreichen Beispielen Umfang und Möglichkeiten des Einsatzes elektroanalytischer Verfahren. Einige Stichworte zum Inhalt sind: Prinzipien und bioanalytische Anwendung von Voltametrie und Potentiometrie, elektrochemische Biosensoren sowie in-vivo Elektrochemie. Das Buch eignet sich gut als Einstieg in das Gebiet, bietet aber auch dem erfahrenen 'Elektroanalytiker' viele Hilfestellungen und Ratschläge.
Through this monograph, the pharmaceutical chemist gets familiar with the possibilities electroanalytical methods offer for validated analyses of drug compounds and pharmaceuticals. The presentation focuses on the techniques most frequently used in practical applications, particularly voltammetry and polarography. The authors present the information in such a way that the reader can judge whether the application of such techniques offers advantages for solving a particular analytical problem. Basics of individual electroanalytical techniques are outlined using as simple language as possible, with a minimum of mathematical apparatus. For each electroanalytical technique, the physical and chemical processes as well as the instrumentation are described. The authors also cover procedures for the identification of electroactive groups and the chemical and electrochemical processes involved. Understanding the principles of such processes is essential for finding optimum analytical conditions in the most reliable way. Added to this is the validation of such analytical procedures. A particularly valuable feature of this book are extensive tables listing numerous validated examples of practical applications. Various Indices according to the drug type, the electroactive group and the type of method as well as a subject and author index are also provided for easy reference.

It also demonstrates the solving of real-life analytical problems using the techniques discussed within. This latest edition contains extensive updates to the cited literature and its descriptions of various electrochemical processes and techniques. Additional worked examples are included in the text and numerous quantitative questions and exercise problems are found at the end of each chapter. Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to the fundamental concepts of electroanalysis, including discussions of Faradaic processes, electrical double layers, and the electrocapillary effect Comprehensive explorations of the study of electrode reactions, interfacial properties, and controlled potential techniques Practical discussions of the practical considerations of electroanalysis, including electrochemical cells, solvents and supporting electrolytes, and instrumentation Detailed treatments of potentiometry and electrochemical sensors, including ion selective electrodes, electrochemical biosensors and wearable devices Perfect for graduate students studying electroanalytical chemistry, Analytical Electrochemistry will also benefit advanced undergraduate students taking courses in instrumental analysis, as well as academics and industrial professionals considering the use of electroanalysis in their labs.
Nanotechnology has become one of the most important fields in science. Nanoparticles exhibit unique chemical, physical and electronic properties that are different from those of bulk materials, due to their small size and better architecture. Nanoparticles can be used to construct novel sensing devices; in particular electrochemical sensors. Electrochemical detection is highly attractive for the monitoring of glucose, cancer cells, cholesterol and infectious diseases. Unique nanocomposite-based films proposed in this book open new doors to the design and fabrication of high-performance electrochemical sensors.
TRAC: Trends in Analytical Chemistry, Volume 8 provides information pertinent to the trends in the field of analytical chemistry. This book presents a variety of topics related to analytical chemistry, including protein purification, biotechnology, Raman spectroscopy in pharmaceutical field, electrokinetic chromatography, and flow injection analysis. Organized into 50 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of scientometric investigations that enable the quantitative study of the evolution of its various components and can thereby uncover how information is utilized to diffuse and generate knowledge. This text then discusses the economic significance of sensing and control as being the main factors in determining process economics and in offering products and business opportunities. Other chapters consider the important relationship between Raman spectroscopy and other analytical methods. This book discusses as well the interfaces between a gas chromatograph and a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The final chapter deals with chemometrics routines. This book is a valuable resource for analytical chemists, and biochemists.
