Principles and Practice of Modern Chromatographic Methods

by Kevin Robards, Danielle Ryan

Overview

Of the many separation processes available in today's analytical laboratory, chromatographic methods are the most widely used. The applications of chromatography have grown explosively in the last four decades, owing to the development of new techniques and scientists expanding needs for better methods of separating complex mixtures. This book offers a comprehensive and unified approach which is essential for the novice but will also be of assistance to the specialist suddenly faced with the need to switch from one technique to another.

About the Author

Kevin Robards majored in analytical chemistry and biochemistry. He worked in industry with edible oils and completed an Honours thesis on synthetic antioxidants. After some years investigating complexation chemistry and chromatography and a brief period examining the agricultural applications of rare earths, he returned to his passion, antioxidants, only now looking at naturally occurring members such as biophenols. The last years of his employment were divided between biophenolic research and studying academic and corporate governance.
After five decades of research and teaching at all levels (undergraduate through post-doctoral) in analytical chemistry with a specific emphasis on chromatography, Professor Robards has now retired and was granted Emeritus status in recognition of his contribution to the academy.

Danielle Ryan majored in analytical chemistry. After her PhD at Charles Sturt University (CSU) she completed post-doctoral research in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography at RMIT University before taking up an academic position at CSU. Danielle’s research is focused on the application of analytical chemistry and separation science to complex samples to understand natural product quality and identify biomarkers associated with human diseases.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

A thorough and up-to-date guide on the theory and practice of all forms of chromatography and their various applications

Editorial Reviews

"This is a carefully written, broadly-based, text for either the non-specialists chromatographer or those scientists who use chromatography extensively in their work but dont consider themselves experts on the topic. It is significantly more than a simple introduction to the topic but by no means an advanced treatise...Overall, this is a welcomed contribution to the chromatography literature and can be recommended to its target audience. This reviewer would rate it among the besttexts of its type currently available and the authors have been broadly successful in meeting their stated goals." —Colin F. Poole, in JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY

"The introductory chapter is one of the best that I have seen; it is comprehensive and educational...and concludes with an excellent and extensive bibliography....I found this to be an excellent book: by steering away from the more specialised areas the authors have written an easily readable and understandable basic reference for chromatography. I highly recommend it to anyone considering analytical chemistry as a career–if only to whet their appetite!" —CHEMISTRY IN BRITAIN
