Analysis with Supercritical Fluids: Extraction and Chromatography : extraction and chromatography

Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and supercritical extraction (SFE) are new and powerful tools for all branches of analytical chemistry. These methodologies are now being transferred from research into routine laboratories, in the fields of environmental chemistry, biochemistry, drug research and food chemistry. SFC and SFE techniques are of high interest to the laboratories in industry, research institutions, and universities. This volume provices a comprehensive treatment of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), paying attention to both theory and practice. Special attention is given to the description of applications, designed to provide the experienced analyst with information which has been widely scattered in the literature and to help the novice to adopt these new techniques in the laboratory.
