Ebook: Chromatographic Detectors: Design, Function, and Operation

Written by a seasoned chromatographer with more than 40 years' experience in the field, this reference comprehensively covers the design, construction, and operation of gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) detectors - all in one convenient, up-to-date source. Illustrated with 160 richly detailed diagrams that clarify the construction of the detectors, this practical guide emphasizes the essential use of common specifications to describe all detectors...discusses the properties of chromatography detectors and the best way to measure their efficacy...reviews factors that impair column resolution before solutes reach the detector...describes and discusses the relative merits of the more popular detectors, including the most recent commercially available models as well as lesser-known devices...explores the exclusive number of TLC detectors available...contains an extensive survey of chromatography/spectrometer tandem systems...and more. Chromatographic Detectors serves as an important on-the-job tool for chromatographers; analytical, physical, pharmaceutical, oil, petroleum, clinical, forensic, environmental, and synthetic chemists and biochemists; biotechnologists; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students in these disciplines.
