Modern Size-Exclusion Liquid Chromatography

The Second Edition of Modern Size-Exclusion
Chromatography offers a complete guide to the theories,
methods, and applications of size-exclusion chromatography. It
provides an unparalleled, integrated, up-to-date treatment of gel
permeation and gel filtration chromatography. With its detailed
descriptions of techniques, data handling, compilations of
information on columns and column packings, and tables of important
solvents and reference materials, the book offers readers
everything they need to take full advantage of this popular
macromolecular characterization technique.

Since publication of the first edition in 1979, there have been
many important advances in the field of size-exclusion
chromatography. This Second Edition brings the book thoroughly up
to date, with expert coverage of:

• New and emerging industrial and research applications

• Practical aspects of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and
  multidetector and multidimensional SEC technologies for polymer
  architecture and copolymer analysis

• Updated information on the latest equipment and techniques

• New best practices for the lab

• SEC in relation to polymer characterization techniques such as
  GPEC, LCCC, and rheology

Throughout the text, detailed examples guide you step by step
through all the latest techniques and applications. With its
extensive revisions and updates written by leading experts and
pioneers in the field, Modern Size-Exclusion Liquid Chromatography
remains the definitive resource for the broad range of researchers
and scientists who use HPLC and GPC methods.
