"In summary, the editors' objective of linking thedevelopment of chemical separations to their modern practice wasmet. The description of the development of various separationtechniques, and their impact on modern science, was mostinteresting. Contributions from a variety of separation scientistsprovide a breadth of coverage over nearly all areas of modernchromatography." (Anal Bioanal Chem, 2011)
Leading researchers discuss the past and present ofchromatography
More than one hundred years after Mikhail Tswett pioneeredadsorption chromatography, his separation technique has developedinto an important branch of scientific study. Providing a fullportrait of the discipline, Chromatography: A Science ofDiscovery bridges the gap between early, twentieth-centurychromatography and the cutting edge of today's research.
Featuring contributions from more than fifty award-winningchromatographers, Chromatography offers a multifaceted lookat the development and maturation of this field into its currentstate, as well as its importance across various scientificendeavors. The coverage includes:
* Consideration of chromatography as a unified science rather thanjust a separation method
* Key breakthroughs, revolutions, and paradigm shifts inchromatography
* Profiles of Nobel laureates who used chromatography in theirresearch, and the role it played
* Recent advances in column technology
* Chromatography's contributions to the agricultural, space, biological/medical sciences; pharmaceutical science; andenvironmental, natural products, and chemical analysis
* Future trends in chromatography
With numerous references and an engaging series of voices, Chromatography: A Science of Discovery offers a diverse lookat an essential area of science. It is a unique and invaluableresource for researchers, students, and other interested readerswho seek a broader understanding of this field.
