High-Throughput Analysis is a practical reference book that covers state of the art analytical methods, instrumentation and data processing techniques used for high throughput analysis of new materials in combinatorial chemistry and materials science beyond the pharmaceutical area.

It highlights methods applied for high research laboratories, and equipment suppliers. These methods include optical spectroscopic methods, microscopic and surface analysis, hyphenated mass spectrometry, sensors for volatiles, thermal analysis, mechanical testing, analysis of electrical properties, separation methods and multivariate data analysis.

A CD-ROM containing supplementary information intended to complement the chapters in the book is included with the volume.

High-Throughput Analysis provides multi-disciplinary practitioners and beginners with a treatment of the principles, methodology, and characteristics of instrumentation for high throughput analysis in order to stimulate further research in this rapidly expanding field.
