Description
Summary:"During the last few years, greater access to analyses of deuterium enrichment by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry has increased the use of this technique in Africa, Asia and Latin America. This publication seeks to provide practical, hands-on guidance in the use of this technique in settings where the analysis of deuterium enrichment in saliva samples will be made by FTIR spectrometry. It is targeted at new users of this technique, for example nutritionists, analytical chemists and other health professionals."--P. [4] of cover.
