Modern Practice of Gas Chromatography, Third Edition

Analytical chemists, technicians, and scientists in allied disciplines have come to regard this authoritative text as a standard reference on gas chromatography. In addition to serving as an invaluable reference for the experienced practitioner, this bestselling work provides the beginner with a solid understanding of gas chromatography theory and basic techniques. This new Third Edition incorporates the most recent developments in the field, including entirely new chapters on gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS), optimizing separations using GC, forensic applications of GC, and the use of injection systems. It offers expanded coverage of instrumentation and fully updated information on detectors, qualitative and quantitative analysis by GC, and environmental applications of GC. The latest IUPAC-recommended nomenclature is employed throughout. As in previous editions, contributing authors have been chosen for their expertise and active participation in their respective areas.

Previous ed.: 1985.

CHOICE Review

This very thorough work, in a new edition (3rd ed., CH, Feb'96), is targeted to readers at the graduate or research level. It should be noted that Modern Practices is more than simply a compilation of accepted practices. It begins with a historical development chapter that allows the reader to appreciate gas chromatography as a craft that has evolved over time. It also includes several detailed chapters on the instrumental designs in modern use including detector schematics and electronic wiring diagrams, column design, coatings and packing materials, and interfaces for use with a mass spectrometer, as well as systems for handling gas samples. In addition to being a very thorough instrumental work, this book also covers modern applications of GC in numerous disciplines such as forensics, physiochemistry, pharmaceuticals, environmental chemistry, and petrochemistry. Quality assessment/quality control and best practices of sample preparation are also discussed. ^BSumming Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals. R. M.
