Chromatography has become the premier technique for separations and analysis. The three most important types are gas chromatography, liquid chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. These share a common theoretical base, and the most efficient education of a novice would be a unified study. This book presents a unified approach to chromatography and emphasizes the similarities and differences between the major divisions - gas chromatography, liquid chromatography and thermal liquid chromatography. It is an elementary introduction to the topic, but a comprehensive one. It includes many practical operating hints, and references are provided for further information. The book should serve the needs of the scientist new to the field as well as providing a reference for those already working in it.

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.
