Principles and Practice of Modern Chromatographic Methods - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

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.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Principles and Practice of Modern Chromatographic Methods, Second Edition takes a comprehensive, unified approach to assist the novice in need of a reference to chromatographic techniques, as well as the specialist suddenly faced with the need to switch from one chromatographic technique to another. Like the first edition, this book provides a scientifically rigid but easy-to-follow development of chromatography concepts presented in a logical fashion. It begins with the purpose and intent of chromatographic theory - the “what and why that are left out of other books attempting to cover these principles - clearing confusion that often exists in the interdisciplinary areas that use these techniques.

This fully revised second edition brings the content up to date, covering recent developments in several new sections and an additional chapter on composite methods. New topics include sample profiling, sample preparation, sustainable green chemistry, 2D chromatography, miniaturization/nano-LC, HILIC and more.
