Publisher's Synopsis
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.
