Techniques and Practice of Chromatography

Introducing scientists of all disciplines to the chromatographic process and how it functions, this unique, easy-to-read volume treats chromatography as a single subject - discussing the basic principles and theory of chromatographic separation as well as specific chromatographic procedures, including gas, liquid, and thin-layer chromatography.
Offering practical, working knowledge of the different forms of chromatography and their respective areas of application, Techniques and Practice of Chromatography describes the characteristics of each separation method ... reveals the rationale for determining which form of chromatography is most appropriate for particular separation problems ... covers both simple and complex forms of chromatographic instrumentation and the procedures necessary for their effective utilization ... examines fundamental requirements for qualitative and quantitative analysis ... presents numerous analytical examples that illustrate important application areas ... details general concepts such as the mechanism of retention, the thermodynamic explanation of retention, and molecular interactions ... and more.
Techniques and Practice of Chromatography is an essential resource for analytical, organic, physical, forensic, synthetic, and production chemists and biochemists; pharmacists; biologists; biotechnologists; laboratory technicians; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students enrolled in analytical chemistry or separation science courses.
