An introduction and tutorial on electron paramagnetic spectroscopy

Bringing a classic text up to date after three decades of popularity, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance: Elementary Theory and Practical Applications, Second Edition provides a basic understanding of the underlying theory, fundamentals, and applications of electron paramagnetic spectroscopy (EPR).

Choosing to develop a sound base of knowledge rather than comprehensive coverage, the authors cover the basics along with:

• Exciting new developments and current trends and techniques
• Updated information on high-frequency and multi-frequency EPR
• Pulsed microwave techniques and spectra analysis
• Dynamic effects
• Relaxation phenomena
• Computer-based spectra simulation
• Biomedical aspects of EPR
• The application of EPR techniques to problem solving in such areas as organic, inorganic, biological, and analytical chemistry; chemical physics; geophysics; and mineralogy

Written to serve as both a self-study guide for professionals and a textbook for students, this Second Edition will equip readers with the foundation necessary to apply EPR to their own specialized fields of interest.

New Frontiers in Ultrasensitive Bioanalysis by Xiaohong N. Xu Ph.D Hardcover - 308 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# JW-CHEM6 $123.60 BUY Published:  2007   ISBN:  9780471746607

Advanced Analytical Chemistry Applications in Nanobiotechnology,
Single Molecule Detection, and Single Cell Analysis

As analysis of biological samples and living systems becomes more demanding, new platforms of ultransensitive analysis using multiplexing, single nanoparticle sensing, nano-fluidics, and single-molecule detection have been developed. Furthermore, the emerging fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology provide new possibilities for the development of analytical tools and instruments for biological analysis at much quicker speeds and at much smaller levels. Such powerful capabilities will ultimately lead to the development of new analytical techniques for improving disease diagnosis and treatment, as well as to advancing our understanding of important biological phenomena such as membrane transport, enzyme activities, and intracellular and intercellular signalling. In this book, a diverse group of analytical chemists working in the forefront of ultrasensitive bioanalysis share their insights, visions, and latest results.
