Gain an Even Better Comprehension of the Statistical Procedures for Quality Assurance with the Assistance of Quality Assurance in Analytical Chemistry.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c48402) has announced the addition of Quality Assurance in Analytical Chemistry: Applications in Environmental, Food and Materials Analysis, Biotechnology, and Medical Engineering, 2nd Edition to their offering.

This best-selling title both in German and English is now enhanced by a new chapter on the important topical subject of measurement uncertainty, plus a CD-ROM with interactive examples in the form of Excel-spreadsheets. These allow readers to gain an even better comprehension of the statistical procedures for quality assurance while also incorporating their own data.

Following an introduction, the text goes on to elucidate the 4-phase model of analytical quality assurance: establishing a new analytical process, preparative quality assurance, routine quality assurance and external analytical quality assurance.

Besides updating the relevant references, the authors took great care to incorporate the latest international standards in the field.
