Description
Book SynopsisSampling (the removal of a small amount of material from a larger volume to test it for a desired characteristic) is important to industry in order to monitor the progress of a reaction or the quality (purity) of a product.
Trade Review"This text is strongly recommended to those who oversee orare involved in sample quality control in moving stream industrialsettings. This text will also find utility for studentsstudying sampling methods in advanced analytical chemistrycourses." (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1999)
