Ion Chromatography

This separation method is increasingly finding applications in environmental, food, pharmaceutical and clinical analysis. The completely revised and updated fourth edition of this best-selling classic is a thorough treatment of the subject while remaining concise and readable. Alongside ion exchange resins, detectors, ion chromatographic separations, anion, cation and ion exclusive chromatography, special techniques and chemical speciation, new additions include capillary electrophoresis, monolithic columns, zwitterion columns, DNA/RNA analysis, fundamentals of the science of IC, and micro methods. The whole is rounded off by handy tables with details on, among others, detection or elution conditions, making this a ready reference for analytical, environmental and food chemists, chromatographers, pharmaceutists, and chemists working in trace analysis.
