The Essence of Chromatography [Paperback]

Colin F. Poole (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 19, 2002 | ISBN-10: 0444501991 | ISBN-13: 978-0444501998 | Edition: 1

The Essence of Chromatography presents a comprehensive survey of modern chromatography and is intended as a suitable text for graduate level courses in the separation sciences and as a self-study guide for professional chromatographers wishing to refresh their background in this rapidly expanding field.

This title is an effective replacement for Chromatography Today, written by the same author with Salwa K. Poole, which is considered to be one of the definitive chromatographic texts of the last decade. Its format is modular, with extensive cross-references to permit rapid location of related material using different separation concepts. Important features are extensive tabulation of essential data for performing separations and an extensive bibliography to the most recent literature.

· Comprehensive and authoritative coverage of chromatographic techniques
· Contains extensive coverage of recent literature on this subject
· Ideal text for graduates and suitable for professional chromatographers

"Highly Recommended. Graduate students through professionals."

Reviewed in CHEMISTRY IN AUSTRALIA, May, 2003 by Philip Marriott FRACI, Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia

"Quite simply, Colin Poole has again produced a text that is authoritative, comprehensive, informative, and an excellent source as a one-stop reference to the field of separation science."

Reviewed in CHROMATOGRAPHIA, Vol. 57, 2003 by P. Myers

"Overall this is a well-planned book, very well written and one that should become the prime standard for anyone entering chromatography or simply wanting to understand a little more about a different area of the subject."

Reviewed in JACS 2003, 125, 10144-45 by David J. Butcher, Western Carolina University

"I am happy to report that this volume is even better than the original... In general, the book is an excellent source of information on all aspects of chromatography... I highly recommend this volume. I believe it has great practical utility for students and practitioners of separation science, including analytical, biological, environmental, and synthetic chemists."

5.0 out of 5 stars A great essence for chromatographers, March 20, 2003

By 

ND (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Essence of Chromatography (Hardcover)

It is nicely edited; clearly and deeply discusses the topics with very recent and relevent current research work. I believe this book explains generally all possible areas of chromatography. It is highly recommended and will serve as a great reference for all researchers and students.

This review is from: The Essence of Chromatography (Paperback)

A classic landmark reference for chromatography. Chapter 2 (the column in gas chromatography) and 3 (instrumental aspects of gas chromatography) are very relevant - and excellent for hard core gas chromatographers
