Carbohydrate Analysis by Modern Liquid Phase Separation Techniques

Carbohydrate Analysis by Modern Liquid Phase Separation Techniques, Second Edition, presents readers with the various principles of modern liquid phase separation techniques and their contributions to the analysis of complex carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. In a selection of all-new chapters, this fully updated volume covers each technique in detail. The book aims to help analysts solve any of the many practical problems they may face in tackling the analysis of carbohydrates. In addition, it addresses current difficulties that must be resolved in carbohydrate research, thus inspiring further important technological developments to meet these challenges.

This is an essential resource for anyone seeking a broad view of the science of carbohydrates and separation techniques.

• Covers the basic principles of modern liquid phase separation techniques, along with their applications
• Compiles up-to-date information on the field of carbohydrate analysis, along with updates on separation science
• Focuses on problems currently faced in carbohydrate analysis and the solutions necessary for further progress

Professor Ziad El Rassi earned M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in analytical chemistry from Claude-Bernard University, France, in 1974 and 1978. A visiting Assistant Professorship followed at Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France. He Joined the Chemical Engineering Department at Yale University in 1980. In 1988 he accepted an Assistant Professorship at Oklahoma State University, where he later became Full professor, followed by Regents Professor. El Rassi is a member of The Asia Pacific International Symposium on Microscale Separations, The International Symposium on Capillary Electroseparation Techniques (ITP), and The Latin-American Symposium on Biotechnology, Biomedical, Biopharmaceutical and Industrial Applications of Capillary Electrophoresis and Microchip Technology. He has served on editorial boards of several international journals and as the Chairman of three international symposia. He has received several research awards and his research has resulted in 200 research publications, two books, and 250 presentations, including 170 invited lectures around the world.
