This guide for the practicing chromatographer who wants a ready source of information on HPLC detection explores and compares existing detection systems and detectors, outlines the common problems associated with a given detector, and offers proven approaches to avoiding such problems. - Addresses the practical aspects of HPLC detection, including: basic theory, when a particular type of detector can be used, how detectors from various manufacturers differ, common problems of detectors and ways to avoid them - Presents an overview of today's most common techniques - Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of HPLC, dispelling common misconceptions

How can these compounds be separated? Why was that method used? These are the two basic questions often asked by students of chromatography. HPLC: A Practical Guide provides the answers, enabling the reader to grasp the concepts of the technique using simple, representative chromatograms. Divided into six chapters, this practical guide covers basic concepts of HPLC; instrumentation; stationary phase materials; eluents; column efficiency; and the influence of physical chemistry on separations. Focusing on the basic considerations such as selection of stationary phase and eluent, rather than specific applications, sections on troubleshooting are also included. Uniquely, the descriptions of chromatographic separations are based on solubility using molecular properties, and solubility parameters are used to analyse the selections of chromatographic mode and column. Presenting the chemistry of liquid chromatography for undergraduate students, this valuable practical guide will also be useful for laboratory staff in industry and academia.

Selection of the HPLC Method in Chemical Analysis serves as a practical guide to users of high-performance liquid chromatography and provides criteria for method selection, development, and validation. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is the most common analytical technique currently practiced in chemistry. However, the process of finding the appropriate information for a particular analytical project requires significant effort and pre-existent knowledge in the field. Further, sorting through the wealth of published data and literature takes both time and effort away from the critical aspects of HPLC method selection. For the first time, a systematic approach for sorting through the available information and reviewing critically the up-to-date progress in HPLC for selecting a specific analysis is available in a single book. Selection of the HPLC Method in Chemical Analysis is an inclusive go-to reference for HPLC method selection, development, and validation. - Addresses the various aspects of practice and instrumentation needed to obtain reliable HPLC analysis results - Leads researchers to the best choice of an HPLC method from the overabundance of information existent in the field - Provides criteria for HPLC method selection, development, and validation - Authored by world-renowned HPLC experts who have more than 60 years of combined experience in the field

This revision brings the reader completely up to date on the evolving methods associated with increasingly more complex sample types analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography, or HPLC. The book also incorporates updated discussions of many of the fundamental components of HPLC systems and practical issues associated with the use of this analytical method. This edition includes new or expanded treatments of sample preparation, computer assisted method development, as well as biochemical samples, and chiral separations.

The book is organized to facilitate rapid understanding for those working with a particular area of chromatography: Introduces the reader to instrumentation, reviews basic chromatographic theory, and presents a brief survey of absorbance fluorescence and refractive index detectors. Provides a broad view of the role of the analytical laboratory in an industrial organization. Offers suggestions on optimizing the utilization of personnel and work flow in the laboratory. Covers process sampling and analysis · Describes process chromatography. The remaining chapters discuss specialties within separations technology, including an outline of the key features of each technique, a thorough bibliography, a list of precedents, and detailed examples of one or more applications presented from the viewpoint of industrial and basic scientists. Specialty detectors are also described. HPLC: Practical and Industrial Applications is an essential reference for those working in the industrial sector, as well as scientists, students, technicians interested in learning HPLC methods.

This book is a distillation of twenty years of practical experience of the high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) process. Deliberately steering clear of complex theoretical aspects, this book concentrates on the everyday problems associated with the technique, making it perfect for frequent use in the laboratory and for those in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and biotechnology industries for the analysis and purification of drugs, small molecules, proteins and DNA.This book...•Provides practical, hands-on advice based on years of experience•Will help ensure optimal design, equipment and separation results for your particular task•Presents system layouts from laboratory to process scale•Will help you to devise or improve record-keeping and documentation systems·Provides practical, hands-on advice based on years of experience·Will help ensure optimal design, equipment and separation results for your particular task·Presents system layouts from laboratory to process scale·Will help you to devise or improve record-keeping and documentation systems

Filling a gap in the literature for a hands-on guide focusing on everyday laboratory challenges, this English edition has been expanded and revised using the feedback received on the successful German precursor. Throughout the book, Professor Mascher draws on his 30 years of experience and provides abundant practical advice, troubleshooting and other hints highlighted in boxes, as well as a broad selection of walkthrough case studies. Based on a course taught by the author, the first part of the book intuitively explains all steps of routine bioanalysis and explains how to set up a robust, inexpensive and effi cient method for a given substance. In the second part he includes 20 worked example cases that highlight common challenges and how to overcome them. With its appendix containing tried-and-tested analytical methods for 100 clinically relevant substances from the author`s own laboratory, complete with spectral and MS data as well as literature references and basic pharmacokinetic information, this is a life-long companion for everyone working in clinical, pharmaceutical and biochemical analysis. Comments to the German book: "The book comes to life through its examples, showing not only what did work in the author's laboratory, but also what didn't." ChemieReport "Indispensable for novices, while even old hands will be able to expand their knowledge. A collection of analytical data for ca. 100 substances completes the book's offering, leaving almost nothing to be desired." pharmind
