Great overview of Gas Chromatography, detectors, hardware, problems & fixes, data analysis, etc. Worth having as a desk reference and for planning to go into new areas with a GC. Hope to get the boss to buy it, rather than keep getting the library copy.

A nicely written, easy to read, primer. It includes many tips and insights not covered in other textbooks. As in other books on the subject, there is a heavy bias towards the analysis of hidrocarbons, although reference is made to other materials such as essential oils. What I miss is an appendix with a couple of examples of analyses fully worked out, discussing the pros and cons of the decisions taken by the analyst regarding sample extraction and chromatographic analysis.

A very good reference for those who just start to learn gas chromatography. The book was written in a format that make it easy to understand with more emphasis on the practical side rather than theoretical treatment for GC. After 40 years of intensive development, gas chromatography is still a very formidable technique.

An excellent primer on the subject. If you're thinking of bringing GC into your lab, or are just brushing up on the subject, this is the book for you. Some of the derivations focused on quantitative analysis are a bit pedantic and might not be applicable to the average user, but overall the book is a good balance between practice and theory.

good information about all type of GC. Description and techniques instructions. It's a general book, so you'll not find deep information of a typical GC.

This is a terrific overview of basic gas chomatography. For decades, Harold McNair was the BEST person teaching gas chromatography.

Applied GC (gas chromatography) is as much an art as it is a science and has grown to be an invaluable tool for analytical work. Why not start with the best foundation of basics that one can get?
