This laboratory book delivers hands-on advice to researchers in all fields of life and physical sciences already applying or intending to apply electroanalytical methods in their research. The authors represent in a strictly practice-oriented manner not only the necessary theoretical background but much know-how on measurement techniques, interpretation of data and experimental setup.
