Nothing demonstrates the importance and maturity of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) more than this compendium of practical wisdom about how to master the complexity of instrumentation and the problems associated with the chemical aspects of the technique.
After the introduction of HPLC in the late sixties, the technique experienced a meteoric growth and established itself as the leading analytical tool in the pharmaceutical industry. Since then, HPLC has found wide application in all branches of science and technology. Today the worldwide roles of HPLC instruments and supplies amount to over two billion USD, and the market is still expanding further.
This text-books offer little or no help in getting oriented to finding the right one among a half dozen 1/16″ ferrules that look almost the same, but, if an inappropriate one is used in a given fitting, it will be ruined. Dr. Kromidas’s book is a gold mine of useful tips. This practice-oriented book does not fall short of explaining the reasons underlying the problem, and what is just as important, it voices caveat from the consequences of the mistakes one can commit in trying to gain control over the instrument and the separation process.
This book is concise yet rich in practical information, a combination that would be difficult to find in print elsewhere. It helps everybody to be a better practicing chromatographer and may give relief to many who have difficulties in gaining control over the instrument and the chromatographic process at large.
