Practical High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Publisher Description

Jump into the HPLC adventure! Three decades on from publication of the 1st German edition of Veronika Meyer's book on HPLC, this classic text remains one of the few titles available on general HPLC aimed at practitioners. New sections on the following topics have been included in this fifth edition: Comparison of HPLC with capillary electrophoresis How to obtain peak capacity van Deemter curves and other coherences Hydrophilic interaction chromatography Method transfer Comprehensive two-dimensional HPLC Fast separations at 1000 bar HPLC with superheated water In addition, two chapters on the instrument test and troubleshooting in the appendix have been updated and expanded by Bruno E. Lendi, and many details have been improved and numerous references added. A completely new chapter is presented on quality assurance covering: Is it worth the effort? Verification with a second method Method validation Standard operating procedures Measurement uncertainty Qualifications, instrument test, and system suitability test The quest for quality Reviews of earlier editions "That this text is written by an expert in both the practice and teaching of HPLC is evident from the first paragraph....not only an enjoyable, fascinating and easy read, but a truly excellent text that has and will serve many teachers, students and practitioners very well." —The Analyst “…provides essential information on HPLC for LC practitioners in academia, industry, government, and research laboratories…a valuable introduction." - American Journal of Therapeutics

Practical High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Third Edition Veronika R. Meyer Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research, St. Gallen, Switzerland Veronika Meyer's book is a classic HPLC text and remains one of the few titles on general HPLC. Following on from the excellent success of the first two editions, this third edition continues to provide postgraduate students using HPLC and users of HPLC in industry/pharmaceuticals with a unified approach to HPLC and an equal treatment of the theory and practice of HPLC. This edition provides numerous additions and updated material, including: * 10 out of 26 chapters substantially revised * Synopsis of the most important formulas * lnclusion of chapters on solvent properties and on instrument tests * Completely rewritten chapter on pumps * Updated figures and references

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.

Cover title: Practical aspects of modern HPLC.

"This book covers the basic practical aspects of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and is aimed at the inexperienced analyst who may have no or very little knowledge of this technique. It includes basic tips, identifies key skills, arouses awareness and gives guidance on good practice of the basic aspects of HPLC." - page 1.
