Synopsis

Basic Gas Chromatography, Third Edition provides a brief introduction to GC following the objectives for titles in this series. It should appeal to readers with varying levels of education and emphasizes a practical, applied approach to the subject. : This book provides a quick need-to-know introduction to gas chromatography; still the most widely used instrumental analysis technique, and is intended to assist new users in gaining understanding quickly and as a quick reference for experienced users.

The new edition provides updated chapters that reflect changes in technology and methodology, especially sample preparation, detectors and multidimensional chromatography. The book also covers new detectors recently introduced and sample preparation methods that have become much more easily accessible since the previous edition.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Provides a quick, yet comprehensive, need-to-know introduction to gas chromatography

This new edition of Basic Gas Chromatography provides a brief introduction to GC, which is still the most widely used instrumental analysis technique today. It includes updated chapters that reflect changes in technology and methodology, especially sample preparation, detectors, and multidimensional chromatography. In addition, the book also covers recently introduced detectors and sample preparation methods that have become much more easily accessible since the previous edition.

Basic Gas Chromatography, Third Edition covers the latest in the field, giving readers the most up-to-date guide available, while maintaining the previous editions' practical, applied approach to the subject and its accessibility to a wide range of readers. Inside, readers will find complete coverage of basic topics in the field―such as stationary phases, capillary columns, packed columns, inlets, detectors, and qualitative and quantitative analysis. They'll also discover chapters on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS); sampling methods; multidimensional gas chromatography and introductions to fast gas chromatography; gas chromatography analysis of nonvolatile compounds; and inverse and pyrolysis gas chromatography.

• Concise and fundamental in its coverage of gas chromatography
• Updated with the latest changes in technology and methodology, including sample preparation, detectors, and multidimensional chromatography
• Offers revised references, resources, and Web sites that reflect the state of the field
• Covers the most current detectors and sample preparation methods
• A handy reference for experienced users and an excellent book for new readers who need to get up to speed fast

Basic Gas Chromatography, Third Edition remains the standard handbook for everyone from undergraduates studying analytical chemistry to working industrial chemists.
