In the rapidly developing field of analysis it is important to be aware of the newest methods within available techniques. Chromatography and Capillary Electrophoresis in Food Analysis describes chromatographic and electrophoretic principles and procedures for analyses of various amphiphilic and hydrophilic biomolecules, particularly for food analysis. Providing basic information, including general sample preparation, the book then goes on to describe individual analytical methods and exemplify the strategy and methodologies employed for the analyses. The theory necessary to understand the methods and interpretation of results is also included, as are numerous detailed instructions on experiments. Tables, figures and references are included to give a complete picture. Chromatography and Capillary Electrophoresis in Food Analysis will be especially valuable for students and more experienced researchers interested in analysis of natural products, both inside and outside the field of food chemistry.

Because new information was discovered at an incredible rate since the publication of the successful first edition of this Handbook, this fully updated second edition covers all areas of interest in the field of capillary electrophoresis (CE). A relatively new technology, CE is a principle method for studying the physicochemical properties of proteins, peptides, and other macromolecules. Where applicable, the 30 chapters provide basic underlying theories as well as application-oriented aspects of each technique.Keep up with all the developments in this growing field with the Handbook of Capillary Electrophoresis, Second Edition - a complete guide to the fundamentals of CE and the latest research. The chapters are organized into five units: Modes: Presents a theoretical development of the basic principles governing separation with several modes, including CEC, and discusses their practical aspects. Analyte: Applies CE to the analysis of a specific class of analytes, including organic and inorganic ions, pharmaceuticals, glycoconjugates, peptides, proteins, and DNA fragments. Fundamental Aspects of CE: Technique-oriented information for the practitioner, including the importance of the sample matrix, on-line preconcentration of samples, modes of detection, and specific aspects of CE data analysis. Applications of CE: Includes single cell analysis, CE in DNA sequencing, CE as a clinical diagnostic tool, identifying and quantifying drugs, and for characterizing interacting species. Specialized Aspects of CE: Discusses interfacing CE with mass spectrometry, high-volume throughput continuous CE, microchip CE, control of EOF, and much more. The Handbook of Capillary Electrophoresis, Second Edition, pulls together diverse areas and applications of CE, resulting in an excellent tool for scientists involved in biotechnology and clinical chemistry, as well as the pharmaceutical, bioscience, chemical, and instrument-manufacturing industries. With an applications-oriented focus, the handbook is also a superb manual for workshops, seminars, and graduate courses in separation science.

In the 1980s, capillary electrophoresis (CE) joined high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as the most powerful separation technique available to analytical chemists and biochemists. Published research using CE grew from 48 papers in the year of commercial introduction (1988) to 1200 in 1997. While only a dozen major pharmaceutical and biotech companies have reduced CE to routine practice, the applications market is showing real or potential growth in key areas, particularly in the DNA marketplace for genomic mapping and forensic identification. For drug development involving small molecules (including chiral separations), one CE instrument can replace 10 liquid chromatographs in terms of speed of analysis. CE also uses aqueous rather than organic solvents and is thus environmentally friendlier than HPLC. The second edition of Practical Capillary Electrophoresis has been extensively reorganized and rewritten to reflect modern usage in the field, with an emphasis on commercially available apparatus and reagents. This authoritative and very comprehensible treatment builds on the author's extensive experience as an instructor of short courses for the American Chemical Society and for industry. Illustrated with detailed diagrams of electrophoretic phenomena Offers step-by-step methods development schemes Presents techniques for developing quantitative, robust, and precise methods Includes an extensive troubleshooting guide Updates and greatly expands on the first edition-more than 50% of the text is new Written by an internationally recognized scientist who is an instructor for American Chemical Society short courses on HPCE
