Describes recent advances in ion chromatography and demonstrates how it is used to solve scientific and industrial problems. The basic principles of ion chromatography are explained, including gradient elution of ions and micromembrane suppressors. The various anion and cation exchange columns together with various detection methods and applications of ion chromatography in the environmental and life sciences and industry are reviewed. Over 100 chromatograms which illustrate parameters needed to perform analysis and data on gradient and mobile phase ion chromatography are included.

This is a comprehensive source of information on the application of ion chromatography (IC) in the analysis of pharmaceutical drugs and biologicals. This book, with contributors from academia, pharma, the biotech industry, and instrument manufacturing, presents the different perspectives, experience, and expertise of the thought leaders of IC in a comprehensive manner. It explores potential IC applications in different aspects of product development and quality control testing. In addition, an appendix section gives information on critical physical and chromatographic parameters related to IC and information on current manufacturers of IC systems, columns, and other components.

Reflecting the tremendous development of ion chromatography in recent years, the best-selling book by Fritz and Gjerde has now gone into a third edition. This is essentially a new book, describing materials, principles, and methods of ion chromatography in a clear and concise style. The book can be used both as an introduction for the new comer and as a practical guide for method development and applications for the experienced user. It contains handy tables with useful data, e. g. on detection and elution conditions. With this new edition, the scope has been enlarged to include capillary electrophoresis as well as chemical speciation. The readers of this book will profit from the authors' background and experience both in education and industrial application.

This book presents the applications of ion-exchange materials in the biomedical industries. It includes topics related to the application of ion exchange chromatography in determination, extraction and separation of various compounds such as amino acids, morphine, antibiotics, nucleotides, penicillin and many more. This title is a highly valuable source of knowledge on ion-exchange materials and their applications suitable for postgraduate students and researchers but also to industrial R&D specialists in chemistry, chemical, and biochemical technology. Additionally, this book will provide an in-depth knowledge of ion-exchange column and operations suitable for engineers and industrialists.
