About this Item

Paperback. This work presents an introduction to chromatography and reflects the significant developments since the mid-1980s, particularly in instrumentation and column technology, and control and data processing. The chapters on chromatographic theory, GC, HPLC, hybrid techniques, and data processing have been expanded in this edition to give a more detailed coverage while newer techniques such as capillary elctrophoresis are also presented. The chapter on practical experiments has also been revised and features a number of new exercises in GC, GCMS, HPLC with diode array detection, and capillary elctrophoresis. This text is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as R&D personnel in academic and industrial laboratories allowing them to develop methods and establish optimum separation procedures. Offers an introduction to the general theory of chromatography, and a treatment of the principles and practice of the major techniques employed in the industrial and academic sectors. This book is suitable for students following the numerous Masters degrees in instrumental analysis. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

Since the inception of chromatography in 1903, the principal landmarks in its progress have been the virtual rediscovery of the technique in the 1930s, invention of synthetic resins in 1935, introduction of paper chromatography in the 1940s followed by that of thin layer, gas-solid and gas-liquid chroma- tography in the early 1950s. Whilst the theoretical aspects of HPLC were developed in the 1960s, it was the late 1970s before commercial instruments appeared. Developments through the 1980s in microelectronics and micro- processor technology afforded enhanced control, data acquisition and processing capabilities, and improved technologies for the manufacture of instrumentation. Developments in chromatographic media and packings and rapid scanning spectroscopic instruments have enabled combination techniques such as GC-MS, GC-IR, HPLC-MS and HPLC-IR to reach maturity and become standard routine techniques for the analyst. Further considerable research activity in the 1980s and early 1990s has led to the development of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), and high perfor- mance capillary electrophoresis is a technique that has proved invaluable in the genome project and the separation and typing of DNA fragments. Applications in environmental, health and safety, foods analysis and medical studies have contributed significantly to the advancement of these tech- niques. All of the instrumental chromatographic techniques are now used routinely by academic and industrial analysts. An understanding and experi- ence of such techniques is fundamental to the training of today's science undergraduates studying a range of disciplines reflecting the application areas mentioned above.

Review

comprehensive and well presented...The chapters are informative and easy ot read...already used widely in teaching institutions and this use will undoubtedly continue in the future because it provides an ideal resource for this purpose. I commend it highly - Journal of Chromatography
