Chromatography & Mass Spectros - Wiley Mass Spectrometry by Luigi Mondello Hardcover

Book Synopsis

This book provides a detailed description of various multidimensional chromatographic separation techniques. The editor first provides an introduction to the area and then dives right into the various complex separation techniques. While still not used routinely comprehensive chromatography techniques will help acquaint the readers with the fundamentals and possible benefits of multi-dimensional separations coupled with mass spectrometry.

The topics include a wide range of material that will appease all interested in either entering the field of multidimensional chromatography and those looking to gain a better understanding of the topic.

From the Back Cover

A clear, concise, and all-encompassing approach to comprehensive chromatography methodologies

An excellent primer to the field of comprehensive chromatography (CC), this book provides a detailed description of various multidimensional chromatographic separation techniques in an effort to acquaint readers with the fundamentals and possible benefits of multidimensional separations coupled with mass spectrometry--an expanding topic, and one of the most rapidly developing areas in analytical chemistry.

Among the first and most up-to-date books dealing with CC methodologies, this single-volume reference gathers and combines studies from a multitude of scientific literature to discuss a wide range of important topics. In-depth coverage of separation techniques such as comprehensive 2D GC, LC and LC-GC shows how these and various other combinations are ideal for the separation and analysis of complex mixtures in the pharmaceutical, biological, industrial, environmental, and clinical fields. Other subjects explored in this text include:

• The theoretical considerations of multidimensional gas and liquid chromatography

• The history, evolution, and optimization aspects of comprehensive two-dimensional gas and liquid chromatography

• Up-to-date comprehensive chromatography data interpretation technologies

The feedback gained from comprehensive chromatographic techniques, though promising, still remains an emerging contributor to the research field. With the goal of extracting the enormous potential embedded in CC methodologies, Comprehensive Chromatography in Combination with Mass Spectrometry provides insight that takes a great leap forward in advancing exploration into this highly complex--yet highly powerful--analytical tool.

Review Quotes

"It offers comprehensive coverage of the topic of comprehensive multidimensional separations, at a level that makes it a useful reference for scientists working in the field, or as a primary textbook for a graduate-level course on advanced separation techniques." (Anal Bioanal Chem, 2012)
