For more than four decades, scientists and researchers have relied on the Advances in Chromatography Series for the most up-to-date information on a wide range of developments in chromatographic methods and applications. With contributions from an array of international experts, the latest volume captures new developments in this important field that yields great possibilities in a number of applications. The authors’ clear presentation of topics and vivid illustrations make the material in Volume 48 accessible and engaging to biochemists and analytical, organic, polymer, and pharmaceutical chemists at all levels of technical skill.

Topics covered in this new edition include:

• The retention mechanism in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)
• Thermodynamic modeling of chromatographic separation
• Ultra-performance liquid chromatography (ULPC)
• Biointeraction affinity chromatography
• The characterization of stationary phases in supercritical fluid chromatography with the salvation parameter model
• Silica-hydride chemistry
• Multi-dimensional gas chromatography
• Sample preparation for chromatographic analysis of environmental samples and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with derivatization

Covering the state of the art in separation science, this volume presents timely, cutting-edge reviews on chromatography in the fields of bio-, analytical, organic, polymer, and pharmaceutical chemistry. The information contained in this latest volume will help fuel further research in this burgeoning field across the full spectrum of related disciplines.
