"...Stewart and Ebel offer a textbook for graduate or advanced undergraduate students in life sciences and a reference for researchers. They introduce the fundamentals of making chemical measurements..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 24, No. 4, December 2000)

"In general, this is a book, which could be of enormous utility for people working in biochemistry." (The Analyst, 8th October, 2001)

"there was a lot here that I liked and I found myself nodding in agreement" (Chromatographia, November 2001)

"The style is readable and didactic and I think it succeeds as a basic primer." (Chromatographia)

Chemische Messungen in biologischen Systemen: Dieses Buch stellt weniger die apparative Ausrüstung als den Meßprozeß selbst in den Vordergrund. Die problemorientierte Auswahl der Analysemethode, die Abschätzung von Vor- und Nachteilen einzelner Verfahren, die geeignete Abwandlung bestehender Prozeduren sowie die kritische Auswertung des Datenmaterials werden Studenten, aber auch praxiserfahrenen Technikern und Laboranten anschaulich erläutert.
