Planar ChromatographyMass Spectrometry focuses on a relatively new approach to chemical analysis in general, and to separation science in particular. It is the first book to systemically cover the theoretical background, techniques, instrumentation, and practical applications of planar chromatographymass spectrometry as a hyphenated tool of analytical chemistry. It also examines the high and as-yet unexploited potential of planar chromatographymass spectrometry for analytical use in scientific investigations.

This book overviews the combination of planar chromatography, a relatively simple and cost-effective separation slÓ!
