Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications of Liquid Chromatography

Hardbound. This volume reflects the changes that have taken place in the pharmaceutical industry over the last ten years, most notably the increased importance attached to the question of chirality, the growing influence of biotechnology and the need for more rigorous documentation and validation of analytical methods and procedures.

The first part of this book deals with the application of new technology to pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis, reflecting the present needs for increased speed, sensitivity and selectivity in the analysis of drugs. The second chapter provides an overview of capillary electophoresis, which represents one of the most inportant analytical developments to impact directly on pharmaceutical development in recent years. Although not a chromatographic technique, capillary electrophoresis was considered too important to be ignored.

Over the last 25 years, liquid chromatography has grown into a mature analytical technique an

1995 The reviews are clearly written and include references up to 1992. A number of figures of structures, chromatograms and others showing mechanistic equations have been included for clarity. There is a detailed index. Typographical errors are minimal. Print size has been selected for easy reading. The book is attractively hard bound. -- Ram N. Gupta, Journal of Chromatography B: Biomedical Applications

1996 This book is highly recommended for analytical chemists, pharmaceuticals chemists, biochemists in both industrial and academic affiliations, and also drug regulatory centers.... This book is the start of a new series, with two more volumes to be published in the near future; I anticipate their place as valuable references in the areas of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis -- Hassan Y. Aboul-Enein, Journal of Liq. Chrom. & Rel. Technol.

There is a detailed index. Typographical errors are minimal. Print size has been selected for easy reading. The book is attractively hard bound. The development of a new drug has become quite costly. Analytical laboratories of the pharmaceutical industry are playing a very important role in keeping the cost of drug development from escalating further by providing validated assays at different stages of drug development. This book is expected to be useful to the analysis in the pharmaceutical industry. -- Ram N. Gupta, Hamilton, Canada, Journal of Chromatography, 1995
