Chromatography
Concepts and Contrasts
Second Edition
by James M. Miller

A classic on all of the major chromatographic techniques–now fully updated!

This new Second Edition offers the latest information on the topic while preserving the clear, unified approach that has made the original a classroom favorite.

Chromatography: Concepts and Contrasts presents the theoretical base common to various chromatographic methods, giving readers a set of general concepts for a broad understanding of the practice before moving on to discuss specific techniques. It covers gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography in columns (LC), and thin layer chromatography (TLC), as well as related topics such as extraction, solid phase extraction, solid phase microextraction, and mass spectrometry. The resulting text combines technical depth and comprehensiveness with accessible language and clear descriptions.

New material covered in this Second Edition includes:

• Sample preparation
• Capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography
• Chromatography with mass spectrometric detection
• Applications in chemistry, biology, and other areas
• Industrial and government practices in regulated industries
• Internet resources for chromatographers

Whether used as a graduate or upper-level undergraduate textbook, or as a guide for professionals, Chromatography: Concepts and Contrasts provides the most concise, comprehensive, and up-to-date chromatography resource available today.
