Derivatization in Analytical Chemistry (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783036542560)

Derivatization is one of the most widely used sample pretreatment techniques in Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Analysis. Reagent-based or reagent-less schemes offer improved detectability of target compounds, modification of the chromatographic properties and/or the stabilization of sensitive compounds until analysis. Either coupled with separation techniques or as a "stand alone" analytical procedure, derivatization offers endless possibilities in all aspects of analytical applications.
