Other ultrasound-based detection techniques

Analytical chemists have been reluctant to use ultrasound-based detection techniques, which have been widely employed in other research fields — particularly in physical chemistry, where they have enabled complex theoretical developments with which the analytical chemist is usually unfamiliar. Ultrasound-based detection can be a useful tool for analytical chemists provided they acquire the required basic knowledge about it. This chapter summarizes such basic knowledge for both potential and incipient users of batch [1-3] and continuous approaches [4-6] to leading the samples to a US detector.
