Compendium of Terminology in Analytical Chemistry

How do you describe an analytical method, or name the new chemical that you have just assayed, or report the units of the measurement? For analytical chemists, the principal tool of the trade, or source of terms, is this book - the so-called Orange Book. Originating in 1978, this latest edition takes into account the expansion of new analytical procedures and at the same time the diversity of the techniques and the quality and performance characteristics of the procedures. This new volume will be an indispensable reference resource for the coming decade, revising and updating additional accepted terminology. New chapters on chemometrics and statistics, immuno- and bio-analytical methods of analysis and sampling and sample preparation have been added.
