I am looking for some kind of reference work on the calculations needed for the different quantitative methods that are regularly used in analytical chemistry. I need a good reference work for whenever i am second guessing myself and to teach new lab techs. I am looking for in-depth explanations of all the real-world calculations, not conceptual work with lots of assumptions. We have to develop quantitation methods very rapidly for always changing types of demands, so a very wide array of methods is needed. I am looking for good explanations with good illustrations and explicit calculation examples and protocols, not just concepts.
Topics of interest are Method of Standard Additions, using extraction and instrument internal standards, internal standardization, external standardization, making dilutions, different ways of building standard curves and their plusses and minuses, pharma examples, isotope dilution, quantitation with relative response factors, when volumes should be knowns vs. when a known weight of standard is best added, QuEChERS calculations……
Is there such a book that you would recommend? I have found no such work that is tailored towards the WORKINg analytical chemist.
Thanks folks!
