Jump into the HPLC adventure! Three decades on from publication of the 1st German edition of Veronika Meyer's book on HPLC, this classic text remains one of the few titles available on general HPLC aimed at practitioners. New sections on the following topics have been included in this fifth edition: Comparison of HPLC with capillary electrophoresis How to obtain peak capacity van Deemter curves and other coherences Hydrophilic interaction chromatography Method transfer Comprehensive two-dimensional HPLC Fast separations at 1000 bar HPLC with superheated water In addition, two chapters on the instrument test and troubleshooting in the appendix have been updated and expanded by Bruno E. Lendi, and many details have been improved and numerous references added. A completely new chapter is presented on quality assurance covering: Is it worth the effort? Verification with a second method Method validation Standard operating procedures Measurement uncertainty Qualifications, instrument test, and system suitability test The quest for quality Reviews of earlier editions «That this text is written by an expert in both the practice and teaching of HPLC is evident from the first paragraph....not only an enjoyable, fascinating and easy read, but a truly excellent text that has and will serve many teachers, students and practitioners very well.» —The Analyst “…provides essential information on HPLC for LC practitioners in academia, industry, government, and research laboratories…a valuable introduction." – American Journal of Therapeutics

The third edition of this popular problem-solving guide for this widely-used method includes eleven completely new examples and several updated ones, adding up to 100 contributions about pitfalls and errors in HPLC. Each example is presented on a double page with the text on the left-hand and a fi gure on the right-hand side, true to the motto 'a picture says more than a thousand words'. In addition, the author presents essential fundamentals as well as helpful strategies, such as equipment tests or quality assurance processes. New in this edition * Variability of the standard deviation * Infl uence of the acid type and concentration in the eluent * Water as an unintentional additive in the mobile phase * Inadequate purity of mobile phase water * Incomplete degassing * Inadequate stabilization of the extraction solvent * Tailing of phosphate compounds in the presence of steel * Different detection properties of diastereomers * Detector overload in ELSD * System suitability test * From repeatability to reproducibility A must-have resource for all users – showing how to use HPLC efficiently and obtain reliable results.
