Preparative Layer Chromatography

.,."a valuable and important supplement to the existing vast chromatographic literature, (this book) demonstrates the potential of planar chromatography for separation and isolation of pure compounds, even from very complex mixtures." -Preparative Biochemistry & Biotechnology, August 2006 Preparative Layer Chromatography explains how this method is used for separating large quantities of mixtures containing a wide variety of important compounds. It offers a broad review of preparative layer chromatography (PLC) applications and adaptable working procedures for microseparations involving organic, inorganic, and organometallic compounds. The book also provides a complete coverage of bulk sorbents and precoated chromatographic plates available on the international market. This book is a relevant and practical text for experienced as well as novice researchers and practitioners involved in analytical, environmental, geochemical, biological, medicinal, and pharmaceutical applications.
