Inhaltsangabe

Although many books on the theory and applications of gas chromatography have been published, the application of gas chromatography to the medical field has been largely ignored. This book describes the techniques of gas chromatography as they are applied to biochemical, biomedical and clinical studies. The subject matter can be divided into techniques and applications. The first half of the book is largely devoted to the instrumentation and equipment used for gas chromatography analysis, while the latter half describes specific applications.

Aus dem Klappentext

Gas chromatography is the subtlest?and possibly the most expert?chemical detective in the complex world of materials analysis. When combined with many of the sensitive detectors now available, gas chromatography provides a means of investigating ultra-trace levels of compounds?even in a complex mixture. It is not surprising that gas chromatography is viewed as the ideal technique for investigating the complex chemical systems often encountered in biochemical, biomedical, and clinical studies. This is the first handbook of modern gas chromatography techniques that addresses those essential to the complex separations demanded in biochemical, biomedical, and clinical studies, subjects often overlooked in other textbooks. Essential to the scientist who needs only the representative GC techniques useful in real applications, Gas Chromatography provides the muscular basics of the discipline?without needlessly detailed theory. Its balanced and timely look at both techniques and applications is designed to meet the needs of both novices and experienced users of GC. Inside you?ll find discussion of:

• Characteristics of modern gas chromatography instrumentation
• Multidimensional gas chromatography techniques and applications
• Qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis for gas chromatography
• Derivatization techniques
• Gas chromatography profiling in biomedical investigations
• Fatty acids, fatty acids containing lipids, and their gas chromatographic analysis
• Gas chromatography of micro-organisms
• Gas chromatography of organometallic compounds
• Applications of gas chromatography in clinical and forensic toxicology
• The progress of analytical chemistry in sport drug testing

Clean and concise in its approach to technical specifics, the text will enable the reader to get up-to-speed quickly in the important topics of GC. Its expansive treatment of the biochemical, biomedical, and clinical uses of gas chromatography?simply unavailable in other texts?makes Gas Chromatography unique. Clinical and forensic chemists, research chemists, laboratory analysts and technicians, lab managers, physicians, medical researchers, and students of medicine will find all the technical expertise essential to the enhancement of their day-to-day research assembled in this one valuable reference.
