Practical Instrumental Analysis Methods, Quality Assurance, and Laboratory Management > ISBN13: 9783527329519

Summary

The essential practical guide for analytical chemists working in industry, covering all the common methods used in industrial analytical labs. The author has a background in industry as well as extensive experience in teaching this topic, so he knows the field from the inside and can explain the contents in an easily understandable way. The first part of the book introduces the basic theoretical aspects of instrumental analysis, while the second consists of experiments that are structured as projects to be carried out by a team, thus guiding the reader into thinking like an industrial analytical chemist. As a result, readers learn how to work efficiently, safely and accurately in an industrial setting.

Author Biography

After his apprentiship, Sergio Petrozzi worked as a chemical lab technician at the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry ETHZ (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) and at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Sciences and Technology (EAWAG), Switzerland. After acquiring his federal diploma (Diplom H?here Fachpr?fung), he joined the Institute of Chemical Engineering ETHZ where he gained great experience as teaching assistant in laboratory courses. His daily routine focused among other topics,on the following topics at the ETHZ in Zurich: Development, optimisation and validation of analytical methods. He subsequently worked as an application chemist at B?chi Labortechnik AG, Flawil (Switzerland) with a focus on the validation of applications for environmental determinations. He has authored numerous publications in international journals and is presently employed as a Scientific Associate at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW, W?denswil (Switzerland), where, among other things, he is teaching adviser in analytical chemistry laboratory at the Institute for Chemistry and Biological Chemistry (ICBC).
