What is R. Belcher (ed.), instrumental organic elemental analysis about?

This 13th volume in the series on "The Analysis of Organic Materials" under the general editorship of R. Belcher and D. M. W. Anderson is superficially very different from the others in the series in at least two respects. First, it is a collection of six review chapters by different authors, in contrast to the more monographic nature of previous volumes. Secondly, and perhaps more significantly, it reviews the determination of various elements not so much by technique as by specific manufacturer's instruments, e.g. C, H and N; S and 0; C, H, N, S and 0. Also described are the determination of nitrogen by a modification of the Dumas method using another manufacturer's instrument, the microcoulometric determination of S, Cl, N and individual compounds by two other commercial instruments (but mainly one of them) and more broadly and in tune with previous volumes, the determination of 'organic' carbon in water by a range (8) of commercial instruments. Even in the last instance, however, the names and addresses of the manufacturers are given. The emphasis on analysis by specific manufacturer's equipment does, at first sight, appear to be at odds with the general principles of scientifi
