Cyclodestrins in Chromatography [Hardcover]

Cyclodextrins can form complexes with a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds, a property which can prove useful when trying to separate complex mixtures. This book provides an up-to-date and critical evaluation of the application of cyclodextrins in many fields of chromatography (including thin layer, gas-liquid, high performance liquid and supercritical fluid chromatography; capillary electrophoresis; and isotacophoresis). Whilst mainly practical in nature, the book also looks briefly at the theoretical background for the various techniques. Any professional working with chromatography will welcome this unique book as both a practical compilation of methods and a source of reference to the literature regarding the use and impact of cyclodextrins in chromatography.Any professional working with chromatography will welcome this unique book as both a practical compilation of methods and a source of reference to the literature. ... valuable for anyone working with CDs in chromatographic methods ... the book is well written as a monograph that provides a good review of applications of CDs in chromatographic and electromigration methods.
