Infrared spectroscopy offers many attractive features for clinical measurements, such as reagent-less, noninvasive, nondestructive, and multicomponent analysis of complex samples. Recent reports have demonstrated the potential utility of infrared and near-infrared spectroscopy for measurements in treated and untreated samples of blood and other specimen of clinical interest. This monograph provides an excellent introduction to infrared spectroscopy for the interested laboratorian. Topics cover the basic concepts of infrared spectroscopy, along with the fundamental basis of both qualitative and quantitative measurements. In addition to the reports noted above, major contributions are provided by H. Michael Heise from the Institute of Spectrochemistry and Applied Spectroscopy in Dortmund, Germany.

Initial chapters focus on the molecular basis of infrared absorption spectroscopy and the instrumentation . . . [Full Text of this Article]
