High Performance Liquid Chromatography (Analytical Chemistry By Open Learning)

High performance liquid chromatography, (HPLC), is the most powerful of all chromatograhpic techniques; it is capable of achieving separations and analyses difficult or impossible to perform by other methods. Its sophistication requires a solid theoretical background as well as extensive experience if it is to be used effectively. This volume explains the theory and practice of HPLC, with detailed instruction on its uses for separation and quantitative analysis, practical information on the equipment needed, and the various parameters that control HPLC separations. Readers will be able to process an analysis in a logical manner and to determine what to alter, and how, in order to obtain results. The format of this text encourages independent, self-paced study, and suggested experiments are included to encourage readers to apply their knowledge. A bibliography is also included to keep readers up to date on this rapidly expanding field.

Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning
This series provides a uniquely comprehensive and integrated coverage of analytical chemistry, covering basic concepts, classical methods, instrumental techniques and applications. The learning objectives of each text are clearly identified and the student's understanding of the material is constantly challenged by self-assessment questions with reinforcing or remedial responses. The overall objective of Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning is to enable the student to select and apply appropriate methods and techniques to solve analytical problems, and to interpret the results obtained.

High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Second Edition
The aim of this book is to provide the beginner with a working knowledge of the basic principles and theory behind HPLC techniques. This thoroughly revised edition was written to reflect the advances in standard laboratory practice and encompasses the many new challenges that the practitioner is likely to face. The book covers the foundations of liquid chromatography, instrumentation, column packings and many important applications. HPLC is acknowledged as a powerful and sophisticated analytical technique. This book facilitates the confident use of HPLC and will be particularly valuable to those requiring a sound practical overview with an emphasis on applications and methods.
