Handbook of Analytical Derivatization Reactions

Brings together practical information previously available only innumerous separate sources. Handbook of Analytical DerivationReactions begins with an overview of analytical derivatizationwith a section on apparatus. Describes analytical derivatizationmethods organized according to the sample to be derivatized.Discussion of methods includes derivative type, reagent, sampletype, reaction, and typical procedure with comments and referencesfor each.
