Quantitative analysis using chromatographic techniques

Book ·
OSTI ID:7013855
The book is divided into nine contributed chapters. Chapter 1 is an elementary introduction to the concepts of the chromatographic process. Chapter 2 is a brief discussion of the detectors used in liquid chromatography; many similar and more comprehensive reviews exist. Quantitative measurements in liquid chromatography are discussed in Chapter 3 with examples taken from the author's work. The most popular detectors used in gas chromatography are reviewed in Chapter 4, which is followed by a treatment of quantitative analysis with gas chromatography (Chapter 5). A good portion of Chapter 6 dealing with quantitative thin-layer chromatography is taken from an earlier book by one of the authors, but the discussion of errors is new and more complete than those in Chapter 3 and 5. Chapter 7 deals with the application of quantitative chromatographic methods to the analysis of pharmaceuticals. The desiderata of automated analytical methods are discussed in Chapter 8; it concludes with a discussion of the use of robots for the preparation of samples and the loading of them into otherwise fully automated chromatographic systems. In Chapter 9 an introduction is given to the complex matter of extracting information from the shapes of peaks generated by liquid chromatography.
