Series: Analytical Techniques in the Sciences (AnTS). Brian R. Eggins.Publisher: New Delhi Wiley India 2002Edition: 1st.Description: 273, 23.6*15.5 Pages | Binding - Paperback |.ISBN: 978-81-265-2475-4.Subject(s): PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSISDDC classification: 615.1901 Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: Sensors is increasingly being taught as a component of undergraduate and MSc course on Analytical Chemistry, but the number of textbooks has not kept up with this. Industrial users of sensors, who have not been taught about sensors previously would also welcome a book allowing them to learn for themselves how they operate. The market for the books is therefore potentially very large. This book is needed, since sensors are taking on an increasingly important role in modern chemical measurement science. Sensors have not generally been presented in undergraduate courses so this text should provide a route for those in employment to catch-up and learn for themselves how the sensor devices are used to operate.
