Book description
The New Edition of the Well-Regarded Handbook on Gas Chromatography
Since the publication of the highly successful first edition of
Basic Gas Chromatography, the practice of chromatography has
undergone several notable developments. Basic Gas Chromatography,
Second Edition covers the latest in the field, giving readers
the most up-to-date guide available, while maintaining the first
edition's practical, applied approach to the subject and its
accessibility to a wide range of readers.
The text provides comprehensive coverage of basic topics in the
field, such as stationary phases, packed columns and inlets, capillary
columns and inlets, detectors, and qualitative and quantitative
analysis. At the same time, the coverage also features key additions
and updated topics including:
-
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
-
Sampling methods
-
Multidimensional gas chromatography
-
Fast gas chromatography
-
Gas chromatography analysis of nonvolatile compounds
-
Inverse gas chromatography and pyrolysis gas chromatography
Along with these new and updated topics, the references, resources,
and Web sites in Basic Gas Chromatography have been revised to reflect
the state of the field. Concise and fundamental in its coverage,
Basic Gas Chromatography, Second Edition remains the standard
handbook for everyone from undergraduates studying analytical
chemistry to working industrial chemists.
