Chromatography, 5th Edition: Part A: Fundamentals

These are two completely new books, organized according to the successful plan of the previous four editions. While avoiding repetition of material covered in the previous editions, the authors have succeeded in presenting a coherent and comprehensive picture of the state of each topic. Part A covers the theory and fundamentals of such methods as column and planar chromatography, countercurrent chromatography, field-flow fractionation, and electrophoresis. Affinity chromatography and supercritical-fluid chromatography are covered for the first time. Part B presents various applications of these methods. New developments in the analysis and separation of inorganic compounds, amino acids, peptides, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, their constituents and analogs, porphyrins, phenols, drugs and pesticides are reviewed and summarized. Important topics such as environmental analysis and the determination of synthetic polymers and fossil fuels, are covered for the first time. Each topic is treated by one of the most eminent authorities in the field.
The books provide beginners as well as experienced researchers with a key to understanding current activities in various separation methods. They will also serve as textbooks for graduate courses in technical, medical and engineering schools as well as all universities offering science courses.
