In der Einleitung wird die Historie der Kopplung von Säulen in der Chromatographie kurz beschrieben. Danach wird das Konzept der Peakkapazität beschrieben und welche Ansätze nötig sind, um komplexe Gemische mit einer großen Anzahl von Analyten zu charakterisieren. Im ersten Teil werden verschiedene multidimensionale Methoden vorgestellt sowie Tipps und Tricks bei der Anwendung und die Auswertung der erzeugten Daten, auch mit Hilfe statistischer Methoden. Im zweiten Teil des Buches berichten verschiedene Autoren über die Anwendung multidimensionaler Methoden in der Praxis und welche konkreten Vorteile sich dadurch für ihre tägliche Arbeit im Bereich Forschung und Entwicklung sowie Qualitätssicherung ergeben.

A Powerful Tool for Advanced Component Identification in Complex Mixtures Essential oils are mixtures consisting of monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, their oxygenated derivatives, and aliphatic oxygenated compounds.

Research and development in the field of hyphenated techniques has been growing rapidly in the last few years, as indicated by the growing number of conferences on the subject and also the huge number of papers published on techniques such as LC-GC (Liquid Chromatography-Gas Chromatography). Multidimensional techniques - the combination of 2 separation techniques - is an important subsection of hyphenation technologies and up to now there has been no book covering all multidimensional techniques. This monograph, edited by pioneers in the field, is the first book to review all multidimensional techniques including LC-GC, GC-GC and GC-Supercritical Fluid Chromatography. Part 1 describes the numerous combinations of techniques with much practical advice for the beginner as well as for experienced practitioners, while Part 2 details the many and varied applications in areas as diverse as polymer separations and environmental analysis. Multidimensional Chromatography will be an invaluable resource for technicians, engineers and research scientists across a wide range of disciplines, both in industrial and academic laboratories. It is also a suitable text for graduate courses. The nature of the material means it can find a place in any analytical laboratory and scientific library.
