Book Description
Chromatography, invented more than 100 years ago, is the most widely used separation technique in the world today. It has helped the birth of modern analytical instrumentation and continues to strongly influence the profiles of our chemical, biochemical and clinical laboratories. This book deals with the history of the invention and evolution of chromatography and of the various chromatographic techniques. After discussing the precursors, it elaborates on the activities of M.S. Tswett, the inventor of the technique, and of a few selected key pioneers. It then summarizes the evolution of the various branches of chromatography (planar, ion-exchange, gas and liquid), and also reviews the key role of international symposia in setting the trends in this evolution. Except for individual publications of the author, the history of the evolution of chromatography has not been the subject of any book. Thus, this book fills a major gap in the scientific literature.

Book Description
Ettre’s career in chromatography spans an impressive 50 years, in both industry and in academic teaching at Yale U. He offers students and professionals a history of the invention and evolution of chromatography and of the various chromatographic techniques, in the first book-length treatment of the topic. The 32 chapters are based on historical articles by Ettre previously published over the past 20 years in four journals: LCGC Magazine, Chromatographia, Analytical Chemistry, and Journal of Chromatography. The majority of the original articles have been extensively rewritten–many with the collaboration of new co-authors–and additional materials added; the collection as a whole has been edited by John Hinshaw (Serveron Corporation), editor of the “GC Connections” series in LCGC Magazine for the past 20 years. Illustrated throughout with b&w and color photographs, diagrams, and tables. No subject index. Distributed by World Scientific. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
