There have been significant developments in gas chromatography (GC) technology in recent years. In this volume, authors from respected industrial and academic laboratories around the world discuss the many advances in this field over the last decade, with an emphasis on new technologies. The book will provide examples of injection systems that have now been rationalized and made more reliable, column coatings that can now be designed for optimal performance of specific applications, and other new developments in gas chromatography.
Gas Chromatographic Techniques and Applications provides...

A single-volume text, Pharmaceutical Analysis, explores the analytical aspects of drug development and manufacture. This reference provides pharmacists and scientists - specifically, analytical and organic chemists and biochemists -- with a source of information to a broad range of techniques and their applications. This allows readers to choose the most appropriate analytical technique for a particular purpose. The text discusses a variety of concepts, including: quality control and regulatory requirements, chiral and solid state analyses, vibrational spectroscopy, particle properties,...

Chemists in research and development laboratories have relatively few published resources on the design and analysis of experiments. In recent years massive changes have occurred in the tools and instrumentation at their disposal, in the scale of databases linking the properties of pure materials, solutions or other mixtures to molecular structure, and in the sheer ability to collect data through automated data acquisition systems. Despite these advances, many chemists still apply only rudimentary data analysis techniques and remain unaware of the advances made in information extraction over...

The first edition of Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry and its Applications was written as a handbook for users who wanted a better understanding of the theory augmented by a practical insight of how best to approach a range of applications, and to provide a useful starting point for users trying an approach or technique new to them. These objectives have been retained in the second edition but a slight shift in emphasis gives the volume an overall perspective that is more forward looking.

Structured into 11 chapters, the current edition is a thorough revision of the...

As an integral component of environmental policy, it has become essential to regulate and monitor toxic substances. Past emphasis has been primarily on analytical approaches to the detection of specific, targeted contaminants, thus allowing chemical characterisation.

From the analysis of minute amounts of complex biological materials to the quality control of the final form of closage, the use of analytical technology in the discovery, development and manufacture of pharmaceuticals covers an enormous variety of techniques and disciplines.

This volume concentrates on the attributes, requirements and applications of spectroscopic techniques in process analysis, considering, as appropriate to each spectroscopic discipline, off-line, at-/near-line methodology, in addition to on-line, in-line and non-invasive approaches.
