Gas Chromatography in Biology and Medicine

IN the preface to the first edition of one of the earliest books on chromatography, Principles and Practice of Chromatography (Zechmeister and Cholnoky, 1943) there is written: “Every scientific advance is an advance in method.” It is also stated in this prefcice that “the invention of a new specialized laboratory procedure brings about rapid conquests in new fields of science and technology, finally it exhausts itself and is replaced by a still more practical method. The method of chromatographic adsorption invented by the talented Russian botanist, Professor M. Tswett makes possible spatial separation of components of a mixture. It is just now at the beginning of a bullish development : it offers a simple experimental procedure to the investigator especially in the fields of both pure and applied organic chemistry, of biochemistry and of physiology.”

Development and Validation of HPLC Methods for Analytical and Preparative Purposes

Liquid chromatography (LC) is a separation method of great importance to the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry. The principle is that a sample of a solution of the substances is injected into a column of an porous material (stationary phase) and a liquid (mobile phase) is pumped through the column. The separation of substances is based on differences in rates of migration through the column arising from different partition of the substances between the stationary and the mobile phase. Depending on the partition behavior of the different types of substances, these will elute at different times from the column outlet.

Advances in Chromatography, Volume 35

The rapidly expanding growth of the literature on chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, field flow fractionation, and other separation techniques makes it difficult for any individual to maintain a coherent view of progress in the field. Rather than attempt to read the avalanche of original research papers, investigators trying to preserve even a modest awareness of advances must rely upon authoritative surveys. Featuring reliable, up-to-the-minute reviews of major developments in chromatography and other separation techniques, this critically praised series separates the most important advances from an overabundance of supplementary materials.
