Virtuoso on Instruments: Indicator deflections, display readings, continuous paper prints. Analytical devices quickly provide their measurement values for material characterization. But how do you derive statements about structure, identity, purity, or content from this? Three analysts step in to clarify: fundamentals of optical, spectroscopic, chromatographic, and electrochemical methods, applications of pharmaceutical analytics in practice, and evaluation of results. Exercises to reinforce understanding, as well as original IMPP questions with answers and explanations to prepare for the real exam. This completely revised standard work is optimally tailored to the needs of students - so you can master both the instruments and your exams!.
