Liquid Chromatography Column Theory

0.0

This book is designed to cover to important subject of the liquid chromatography column theory. It provides a lucid account of the principles involved in the separation process which will allow the analyst to understand the function of the column, how to design the optimum column for a specific application and how to use in the most efficient manner. This reference work will be of value to a broad spectrum of scientists since chromatography is new one of the more popular methods of analysis and is used in such diverse fields as biotechnology, environmental science, forensic science and in pharmaceutical product control.
