TY - GEN digital ID - 131771415 TI - Handbook of stable isotope analytical techniques PY - 2004 PB - Boston Elsevier DB - UniCat KW - Geochemistry KW - Physical methods for diagnosis UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:131771415 AB - (Parent with price) Volume I contains subjective reviews, specialized and novel technique descriptions by guest authors. Part 1 includes contributions on purely analytical techniques and Part 2 includes matters such as development of mass spectrometers, stability of ion sources, standards and calibration, correction procedures and experimental methods to obtain isotopic fractionation factors. Volume II will be available in 2005. This two volume reference serves as a handbook containing a wealth of information for all isotope chemists working in a wide range of disciplines including anthropology to ecology; drug detection methodology to toxicology; nutrition to food science; and the atmospheric sciences to geochemistry. Complementing the first volume, Volume II includes matters that are not strictly confined to analytical techniques themselves, but relate to analysis of stable isotopes such as the views on the development of mass spectrometers, isotopic scales, standards and references, and directives for setting up a laboratory.
