Focused Microwave assisted Soxhlet Extraction (FMASE) Water is used as the extractant in the application of focused microwaves to enhance the extraction. (9)... 

Sampling, sample handling, and storage and sample preparation methods are extensively covered, and modern methods such as accelerated solvent extraction, solid-phase microextraction (SPME), QuEChERS, and microwave techniques are included. Instrumentation, the analysis of liquids and solids, and applications of NMR are discussed in detail. A section on hyphenated NMR techniques is included, along with an expanded section on MRI and advanced imaging. The IR instrumentation section is focused on FTIR instrumentation. Absorption, emission, and reflectance spectroscopy are discussed, as is ETIR microscopy. ATR has been expanded. Near-IR instrumentation and applications are presented, and the topic of chemometrics is introduced. Coverage of Raman spectroscopy includes resonance Raman, surface-enhanced Raman, and Raman microscopy.
