High-performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a powerful and currently the most important separation method used to resolve mixtures with a large number of similar components. Application areas include: Separations in proteomics, genomics, and metabonomics, biopolymers and industrial polymers, forensics and bioterrorism, food, toxicology, biochemical and environmental applications. Veronika Meyer's book is a classic text and remains one of the few practical titles on general HPLC. Following on from the excellent success of the earlier editions, this new edition aims to continue to provide users of HPLC in both industry and government laboratories with a unified approach to HPLC and an equal treatment of the theory and practice of HPLC. The book will contain a wealth of practical material, and cover a wide range of subjects.
