This review is from: Practical Problem Solving in HPLC (Paperback)

I have worked in the field on HPLC for many years but still found a lot of useful information and hints which I had never encountered before, like peak hight and area related to pump and injector problems. Not every item may be applicable to your specific field ou activity, but the book contains much good practical infromation for the beginner and advanced chromatographer as well. It is also not dependent on specific configurations or system models and, therefore, more timeless and useful for anyone. Recommended.
