The efforts spent on many a scientific book cannot be justified, no matter how many words are said about it. The opposite is true for this book and a few brief remarks upon its publication. Within a short period of time, short even by all present standards, gel chromatography has gone through a development and experienced an acceptance that is unknown to any other method. From experience, the new and unique separation technique is today known and liked in all laboratories that are concerned with substances of high molecular weight; in others, the technique is known from hearsay, the least....

Es gibt wissenschaftliche Biicher, die mit noch so vielen Worten in ihrem Arbeitsaufwand nicht gerechtfertigt werden konnen. Das Gegenteil trifft zu bei der Aufgabe, diesem Buch einige Worte mit auf den Weg zu schicken. In einer selbst fUr die heutigen Verhiiltnisse kurzen Zeitspanne hat die Gelchromatographie eine Entwicklung und Verbreitung erfahren, die man bisher kaum an einer anderen Methode beobachten konnte. Die neue, ori ginelle Stofftrennung ist schon heute in allen Laboratorien, die sich mit hochmolekularen Substanzen beschaftigen, aus Erfahrung beliebt und ge pries en, in den...
