Overview
Product specifications, regulatory constraints, and tight production schedules impose considerable pressures on separation scientists in industry. The first edition of HPLC: Practical and Industrial Applications helped eliminate the need for extensive library or laboratory research when confronting a problem, an unfamiliar technique, or work in a new area. Its plain language, comprehensive coverage of separation topics, and practical organization made it an accessible and convenient reference manual for anyone working in or just entering the field.
Since its publication in 1997, however, much has changed. The areas of mass spectroscopy, electrophoretic separations, and ultra-micro separations have blossomed, focus on quality control has intensified, and the literature has grown significantly. The Second Edition incorporates all of these changes and more. It is now fully current, with chapter supplements that include updated references and discussions of techniques.
This book examines analytical HPLC as it is actually used in industry. Whether you are just entering industry, switching from one industry to another, or simply enjoy understanding how things are made, HPLC: Practical and Industrial Applications will help you solve problems and get up to speed in new areas quickly, comfortably, and with a genuine sense of mastery.
The book contains predominantly black-and-white illustrations, with some color illustrations.

This is a new book that offers general information, trouble-shooting help, and problem-solving guidance in the field of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as it is used in an industrial setting. According to the editor, ""The purpose of this book is to examine analytical HPLC as it is actually used in industry."" One of the book's goals is to present the HPLC field in a format such that the information can be rapidly absorbed by generalists who need to learn this technology quickly. Any book that can offer general information as well as trouble-shooting and problem solving help in the HPLC field is most welcome. The contributors have written some very fine chapters in this book that are filled with a great deal of information. Thus, by and large the goals of the editor and authors have been met. The book is written for a generalist in the industrial arena who needs specialized knowledge in the field of HPLC. The book is well written at a level that most scientists should easily understand. The editor has chosen authors from industry who are credible and are currently working with this technology. The book is laid out well with a good introduction in the first chapter, followed by more detailed explanations in the following chapters. The book contains many useful black-and-white illustrations. A few more drawings that show the inner workings of HPLC pumps, injectors, and detectors would have been helpful. The references are abundant, pertinent and up-to-date. The table of contents is nicely presented, and there is an outline at the beginning of each chapter. The index contains many entries, but they are poorly laid out, making the index very difficult to use. Theauthors should have avoided using an outline format in the index. This book contains a great deal of good information regarding HPLC and its use in industry. This book would be useful to anyone who works with HPLC technology not just in industry, but in academia as well. It offers explanation and help with practical chromatography issues as well as managerial issues. Libraries at any company that deals with this type of chromatography should have this book in their collection. Undergraduate and graduate school libraries should carry this book too.

A guide to designing and troubleshooting separations, written for scientists, engineers, and technicians who use HPLC. Presents information at a high conceptual level but written in plain language, and integrates technical and non-technical issues, with discussion of topics such as management theory and practice, regulatory considerations, and ethics. Methods covered include automated sampling in the process environment, reversed-phase HPLC, and ion exchange chromatography. This second edition incorporates advances in mass spectroscopy, electrophoretic separations, high-throughput analysis, and ultra-micro separations. Swadesh is president and CEO of a pharmaceutical company. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)From The Critics
