This revised edition of a handbook on the basic techniques of thin layer chromatography includes material on recent methods of sample preparation and zone detection, and applications involving pharmaceuticals, as well as the fundamentals of theory, mechanisms and optimization.
This Third Edition provides all the basic applications needed to practice thin layer chromatography (TLC). New material includes: the latest techniques on sample preparation and zone detection, the hybridization of TLC with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as it's been developing in the last few years, emphasis on numerous applications of HPTLC involving pharmaceuticals and drugs, plus the fundamental studies of mechanisms, theories and the optimization of TLC.
