"The Encyclopedia of Chromatography, edited by Dr. Jack Cazes of Florida Atlantic University, is a welcome addition to the literature covering chromatographic techniques and methodologies... well-written and well-documented... easy reading... a good blend... should be seriously considered for inclusion in university, industrial, and government libraries."
James T. Stewart, PhD


"…a wealth of information"
Journal of Planar Chromatography


"Jack Cazes,… is the ideal person to edit this authoritative, up-to-date encyclopedia. Provide[s] useful data… This encyclopedia should become a first and frequently used source of information on just about every conceivable chromatographic technique."
The Chemical Educator

Second Edition!

A convenient source of information for workers in analytical chemistry, experimental biology, physics, and engineering, this Second Edition stands as a quick reference source and clear guide to specific chromatographic techniques and principles- providing a basic introduction to the science and technology of the method, as well as additional references on the theory and methodology for analysis of specific chemicals and applications in a range of industries.

This Second Edition will continue to serve as a valuable and reader-friendly reference for all practitioners of analytical techniques, as well as those who employ chromatographic methods for analysis of complex mixtures.

Throughly revised and expanded, this Second Edition offers an abundance of updated topics, applications, and key references to the recent literature...over 400 cross-referenced articles with more than 80 entirely new articles and over 250 revisions...many new discussions on emerging technologies and applications in chromatography...numerous tables and figures to illustrate and clarify technical points and applications presented in the text...and articles showcasing modern applications and instrumentation as they are in use today- presenting an introductory description of the technique, a detailed discussion of the methodology, and authoritative coverage of the instrumentation and theoretical aspects of the technology.

Preface

From the early days of the development of chromatography, this rapidly expanding area of separation science has needed a place where new science and methodology could be brought together in a single reference source. The monumental advances in new chromatographic technologies have proceeded by leaps and bounds. One is overwhelmed by the pace at which the literature of this discipline is growing . . . and it does not seem to be slowing down! Chromatographic methods have rapidly become the methods of choice for solution of problems in virtually all areas of application, including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, environmental sciences, polymers, food additives and nutrients, clinical pathology, toxicology, fossil fuels, nuclear chemistry, and many more.

The online version of the Encyclopedia of Chromatography fulfills a need for a practical data source for information on chromatographic technologies and methodologies. The encyclopedia is not a completed work; rather, it is an on-going work in progress. New content will be provided on a quarterly basis. This living compendium serves both novices and seasoned chromatographers alike as an introductory reference at the cutting edge of chromatographic science, technology and methodology. Key references to the published literature are given for further reading and understanding.

Areas covered include HPLC, GC, TLC, SFC, SFE, CCC, SEC-GPC, FFF, Affinity, and more, with new technologies being added as they develop. The text and associated references provide the latest innovations to renew one's perspective on techniques which are new or have already become standard.
