GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY: Biochemical, Biomedical and Clinical Applications R. E. Clement
UNIFIED SEPARATION SCIENCE C. Giddings
This book is concerned with the use of gas chromatography to solve biological and biochemical problems. It provides thorough coverage of the methods involved — basic principles and equipment, multidimensional techniques, detectors and derivatization techniques. Several chapters deal specifically with biological applications such as the biological profiling and monitoring of drag therapy, and the detection of urinary acids and steroids, prostaglandins, fatty acids, and lipids. Treats drug abuse detection, toxicological problems and the determination of heavy metals in blood plasma. The use of gas chromatography for identifying bacteria in the clinical microbiology laboratory is also discussed. 408 pp. 0-471-01048-0 1990 $90.00
Written by one of the foremost experts in the field, Unified Separation Science brings together the numerous and complex techniques used for chemical separations by clearly formulating the common concepts uniting them, all in a groundbreaking, singlesource reference. It develops the mass transport phenomena that underlie all separations in an easy-to-understand physical-mathematical form, thereby making way for clear exploration and descriptions of the limitations and optimum performance of alternative separation techniques and factors that enhance and limit separation power. Topics include: Flow Transport and Viscous Phenomena. Zone Formation and Resolution. Steady-State, Two Dimensional, and Overlapping Zones. Separation by External Fields: Electrophoresis and Sedimentation. 384 pp. 0-471-52089-6 1990 $55.00
