Editorial Reviews

Review
"…a practical, hands-on approach…" (CHOICE, July 2005)

"…an excellent introduction to all the chromatographic techniques for both the industrial practitioner and the…student because of its unified treatment, its modern approach, and up-to-date references." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, June 29, 2005)

"Professor Miller should be congratulated for the book...should be on the shelf of every practicing chromatographer...students taking separations science courses could also use it as their standard textbook." (Chromatographia, February 2005)

Product Description
A classic on all of the major chromatographic techniques--now fully updated

Still a popular text today, the first edition of Chromatography: Concepts and Contrasts was one of the first books to cover all of the different types of chromatography. This new Second Edition offers the latest information on the topic while preserving the clear, unified approach that has made the original a classroom favorite.

Chromatography: Concepts and Contrasts, Second Edition presents the theoretical base common to various chromatographic methods, giving readers a set of general concepts for a broad understanding of the practice before moving on to discuss specific techniques. It covers gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography in columns (LC), and thin layer chromatography (TLC), as well as related topics such as extraction, solid phase extraction, solid phase microextraction, and mass spectrometry. The resulting text combines technical depth and comprehensiveness with accessible language and clear descriptions.

New material covered in this Second Edition includes:

• Sample preparation
• Capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography
• Chromatography with mass spectrometric detection
• Applications in chemistry, biology, and other areas
• Industrial and government practices in regulated industries
• Internet resources for chromatographers

Whether used as a graduate or upper-level undergraduate textbook, or as a guide for professionals, Chromatography: Concepts and Contrasts, Second Edition provides the most concise, comprehensive, and up-to-date chromatography resource available today.

3.0 out of 5 stars Chromatography text book review, July 20, 2007

By	M. ODonnell (NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The text is readable, but tends to be somewhat repetitive in parts. There seems to be some sections that could be covered more in depth, but for a general overview of chromatography, this books seems to be decent enough. In the graduate course I'm taking, this text book is supplemented with journal articles to fill in some of the missing depth. This structure seems to work well.
