Recently there has been a great deal written about the benefits capillary chromatography offers in the area of separation and analysis. However, there is a need now to focus on the detection methods commonly used with capillary chromatography. Detectors for Capillary Chromatography presents the writings of 20 authorities who describe the unique features of each detector that are required for successful interfacing with capillary columns. Fused silica column technology has now advanced to the point where tremendous separation power is available. However, as these chapters show, without the ability to "see" the separated components, this high resolution is wasted. While it is true that the column is the heart of the chromatographic process, the detectors are the "eyes" that make the separation visible. A number of methods for "looking" at the results of chromatographic separations have been developed and each provides a different "view". To understand the information gained in high resolution chromatography, you must be able to interpret correctly the view provided by the detector. This book will provide you with the necessary insights into how you can accomplish that. The outstanding contributors to this book are all experts in the field. In many cases they are the researchers who originally developed the detector or have made major contributions to understanding its operation. This state-of-the-art text will be of immediate benefit to analytical chemists and physical chemists worKing with gas chromatography, who use this technique in environmental, industrial, or forensic investigations.
