Pearson New International Edition

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Written specifically for the undergraduate course in Forensic Chemistry, Bell's Forensic Chemistry provides a solid foundation for basic chemistry, introducing chemical concepts and practices from a forensic perspective (including multivariate statistics, quality assurance/quality control, and protocols used in working forensic laboratories). It offers students insight into the legal context in which forensic chemistry is conducted, the variety of types of samples and matrices, and extensive use of instrumentation they will likely encounter in the lab and future professions.
