Features: As a training textbook and self-study guide for laboratory technicians, The Laboratory Technician's Companion is divided into two volumes: Volume 1, "Chemical Analysis," and Volume 2, "Instrumental Analysis." This volume (Volume 2) consists of nine chapters, introducing common electrical equipment in laboratories, electrochemical analysis methods, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, infrared absorption spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and methods for determining physical constants. This revision maintains the same organizational structure and writing style as the previous edition, with a stronger emphasis on practicality in content selection. It takes into account the recent updates and developments in laboratory equipment, as well as the current educational and knowledge levels of technicians. Aligning with the new requirements of modern industry and technological progress in analytical work, the content and arrangement have been comprehensively reevaluated based on the actual needs of laboratory technicians. The descriptions of common laboratory instruments have been updated, some less-used analytical methods and outdated instrument operation procedures have been removed, and the coverage of practical operation knowledge and application examples has been enhanced. The content on cultivating technicians' comprehensive abilities has also been strengthened. The book fully adheres to the regulations on statutory units in China, and all terms and terminology are standardized. To facilitate training, this edition includes additional examples and exercises.
