The new edition highlights some of the latest techniques such as supercritical fluid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. The addition of spreadsheet exercises and problems throughout the text provides students with a more modern approach to analytical chemistry.

This edition of "Analytical Chemistry" includes more biomedical applications and features such as point of care and immunoassays, and the reduction of excess material. Chapter introductions describe material in an applied context. Spreadsheet exercises, examples and questions are also included.
