This is a completely revised and updated sequel to 'A Practical Approach to Chiral Separations by Liquid Chromatography' by the same editor. The scope has been extended to further chiral separation techniques like electrophoresis, membrane separations, or biological assays. More emphasis is put on preparative separation techniques. From reviews of the previous edition: 'A team of experts from academic and industrial laboratories throughout the world have compiled their findings and experience to make this book an exceptionally timely and unique contribution to the field' European Journal of Drug Metabolism 'The dense mass of information contained in this book will make it a valuable resource ...' Chemical Engineering Research '... this is a worthwhile addition to the expanding chiral literature and the book should be of value to those working in this field' The Analyst

Specification of Drug Substances and Products: Development and Validation of Analytical Methods, Second Edition, presents a comprehensive and critical analysis of the requirements and approaches to setting specifications for new pharmaceutical products, with an emphasis on phase-appropriate development, validation of analytical methods, and their application in practice. This thoroughly revised second edition covers topics not covered or not substantially covered in the first edition, including method development and validation in the clinical phase, method transfer, process analytical technology, analytical life cycle management, special challenges with generic drugs, genotoxic impurities, topical products, nasal sprays and inhalation products, and biotechnology products. The book's authors have been carefully selected as former members of the ICH Expert Working Groups charged with developing the ICH guidelines, and/or subject-matter experts in the industry, academia and in government laboratories. - Presents a critical assessment of the application of ICH guidelines on method validation and specification setting - Written by subject-matter experts involved in the development and application of the guidelines - Provides a comprehensive treatment of the analytical methodologies used in the analysis, control and specification of new drug substances and products - Covers the latest statistical approaches (including analytical quality by design) in the development of specifications, method validation and shelf-life prediction

This book highlights the morphology-property relationship of regenerated cellulose materials and composites, as morphology of materials is the key feature and corresponds to associated applications of/to the materials. It is highly essential to assimilate the literature on morphology-property relationship of cellulose materials. Being the most abundant natural polymer on earth and gateway to large number of applications, cellulose is expected to be researched for higher efficiencies. Various books and research articles have targeted the specific morphologies, the respective characteristics and application areas. This book presents literature on morphology-property relationship of cellulose materials and provides a direction to this relationship. ​

Liquid Chromatography: Applications, Second Edition,is a single source of authoritative information on all aspects of the practice of modern liquid chromatography. It gives those working in both academia and industry the opportunity to learn, refresh, and deepen their knowledge of the wide variety of applications in the field. In the years since the first edition was published, thousands of papers have been released on new achievements in liquid chromatography, including the development of new stationary phases, improvement of instrumentation, development of theory, and new applications in biomedicine, metabolomics, proteomics, foodomics, pharmaceuticals, and more. This second edition addresses these new developments with updated chapters from the most expert researchers in the field. - Emphasizes the integration of chromatographic methods and sample preparation - Explains how liquid chromatography is used in different industrial sectors - Covers the most interesting and valuable applications in different fields, e.g., proteomic, metabolomics, foodomics, pollutants and contaminants, and drug analysis (forensic, toxicological, pharmaceutical, biomedical) - Includes references and tables with commonly used data to facilitate research, practical work, comparison of results, and decision-making

This chapter summarizes major developments in the field of liquid chromatographic separation of enantiomers. After a short historical overview, the materials and technologies used for analytical and preparative scale separation of enantiomers in high-performance liquid chromatography, nano liquid chromatography, simulated moving-bed chromatography, and supercritical fluid chromatography are briefly discussed. In the final part, some future trends in liquid chromatographic separation of enantiomers are overviewed.
