Chromatography 2e C - Hardcover

by Miller (Author)

The first edition of Chromatography: Concepts and Contrasts, published in 1988, was one of the first books to discuss all the different types of chromatography under one cover. The second edition continues with these principles but has been updated to include new chapters on sampling and sample preparation, capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography (CEC), chromatography with mass spec detection, and industrial and governmental practices in regulated industries.

• Covers extraction, solid phase extraction (SPE), and solid phase microextraction (SPME), and introduces mass spectrometry
• Updated with the latest techniques in chromatography
• Discusses both liquid chromatography (LC)and gas chromatography(GC)

A classic on all of the major chromatographic techniques-now fully updated

Still a popular text today, the first edition of Chromatography: Concepts and Contrasts was one of the first books to cover all of the different types of chromatography. This new Second Edition offers the latest information on the topic while preserving the clear, unified approach that has made the original a classroom favorite.

Chromatography: Concepts and Contrasts, Second Edition presents the theoretical base common to various chromatographic methods, giving readers a set of general concepts for a broad understanding of the practice before moving on to discuss specific techniques. It covers gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography in columns (LC), and thin layer chromatography (TLC), as well as related topics such as extraction, solid phase extraction, solid phase microextraction, and mass spectrometry. The resulting text combines technical depth and comprehensiveness with accessible language and clear descriptions.

New material covered in this Second Edition includes:

• Sample preparation
• Capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography
• Chromatography with mass spectrometric detection
• Applications in chemistry, biology, and other areas
• Industrial and government practices in regulated industries
• Internet resources for chromatographers

Whether used as a graduate or upper-level undergraduate textbook, or as a guide for professionals, Chromatography: Concepts and Contrasts, Second Edition provides the most concise, comprehensive, and up-to-date chromatography resource available today.
