Modern Sample Preparation for Chromatography

Modern Sample Preparation for Chromatography, Second Edition explains the principles of sample preparation for chromatographic analysis. A variety of procedures are applied to make real-world samples amenable for chromatographic analysis and to improve results. This book's authors discuss each procedure's advantages, disadvantages and their applicability to different types of samples, along with their fit for different types of chromatographic analysis. The book contains numerous literature references and examples of sample preparation for different matrices and new sections on green approaches in sample preparation, progress in automation of sample preparation, non-conventional solvents for LLE (ionic liquids, deep eutectic mixtures, and others), and more. - Presents numerous techniques applied for sample preparation for chromatographic analysis - Provides an up-to-date source of information regarding the progress made in sample preparation for chromatography - Describes examples for specific types of matrices, providing a guide for choosing the appropriate sample preparation method for a given analysis

Serban C. Moldoveanu was Senior Principal Scientist at R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, USA, and retired at the end of 2023. His research activity was focused on various aspects of chromatography including method development for the analysis by GC/MS, HPLC, and LC/MS/MS of natural products and cigarette smoke. He has also performed research on pyrolysis of a variety of polymers and small molecules. He has written over 150 publications in peer reviewed journals, eleven books, and several chapter contributions. He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Analytical Methods in Chemistry and of Frontiers in Chemistry.
