Gas Chromatography: Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning » (2nd Edition)

Approaches the subject from the perspective of a chromatographer who needs to know enough theory to make the best use of a chosen technique. Emphasizes the actual application of the methods—not just the theories on which they are based. This edition features a number of advances in the field since publication of the first volume. These include new chapters on high resolution gas chromatography (GC), GC detectors and classification of GC. Self-assessment questions ensure full understanding of the concepts.

A self-study tutorial introducing one of the most important techniques in analytical chemistry to readers with a solid foundation in chemistry and physics, and hopefully in chromatography. Provides a basic working knowledge of the principles and theory of the technology. The second edition incorporates new information on capillary columns, detectors, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and data handling; no date is noted for the first edition. Annotation c.
