The important role of ?nely dispersed matter and surfaces in medicine is not always fully understood and appreciated. Speci?cally, ?ne particles (solid or liquid) in the size range of several nanometers to several micrometers have a tremendous effect on our lives, because they can be bene?cial or detrimental to our well-being. Such particles are present in living bodies as red blood cells or cholesterol crystals in the gall bladder. They are ubiquitous in the environment, where they can cause many diseases, such as asbestosis, silicosis, and black lung disease, but they are also used in diagnostic tests, drug delivery, and numerous other applications. More recently, evidence has become avail...
This long-awaited first guide to sample preparation for proteomics studies overcomes a major bottleneck in this fast growing technique within the molecular life sciences. By addressing the topic from three different angles -- sample, method and aim of the study -- this practical reference has something for every proteomics researcher. Following an introduction to the field, the book looks at sample preparation for specific techniques and applications and finishes with a section on the preparation of sample types. For each method described, a summary of the pros and cons is given, as well as step-by-step protocols adaptable to any specific proteome analysis task.
This interdisciplinary approach combines the chemistry and engineering involved to describe the conception and improvement of chromatographic processes. The book covers recent developments in preparative chromatographic processes for the separation of "smaller" molecules using standard laboratory equipment as well as the detailed conception of industrial chemical plants. Following an introductory section on the history of chromatography, the current state of research and the design of chromatographic processes, the book goes on to define the general terminology. There then follow sections on solid materials and packed columns process concepts. Final chapters on modeling and determination of model parameters, the design and optimization of preparative chromatographic processes and chromatographic reactors allow for the optimum selection of chromatographic systems. Essential for chemists and engineers working in the chemicals and pharmaceutical industries as well as for food technologies, due to the interdisciplinary nature of these processes.
Presenting guidelines to predict and improve separation system performance, this book contains numerous case studies illustrating the practice of scale-up principles in process development. It offers solutions to limitations that occur in real-world purification schemes; methods to model, optimize, and characterize nonlinear separation processes; data comparisons from all stages of production; and industrial separation schemes for products such as synthetic molecules, antibody fragments, IgG, growth factors, and plasmid DNA. The book covers external constraints, separation economics, correlations for transport and kinetic phenomena, and the configuration and parameters of column design.
This is the first book that comprehensively and systematically describes the new technology of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC). Hydrophilic interaction chromatography is a separation technique suitable for polar and hydrophilic compounds and orthogonal to reversed phase liquid chromatography. From small organic molecules to proteins, the text explores the many applications of HILIC in the analytical field. Winner of the President's Award for Excellence, the author explains how HILIC can significantly improve analytical throughput by shortening sample preparation procedure, which is one of the bottlenecks for drug discovery and development in the pharmaceutical industry.
Focusing on state-of-the-art gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography, this guide discusses the theories behind, and applications of, the latest developments in chromatographic techniques - assessing the strengths and limitations of each methodology.;Presenting many detection methods for the first time, Lipid Chromatographic Analysis: provides a review of conventional column and thin-layer chromatography; examines a new GC technique to detect plasmalogen phospholipids; outlines a supercritical fluid chromatography for lipids; details the first systematic description of a microanalytical procedure for cholesterol and related compounds; explains a GC analysis of lipid breakdown products for monitoring biological processes such as ageing, carcinogenesis and mutagenesis; and describes techniques that allow for the simultaneous analysis of non-polar and polar lipids.
Used routinely in drug control laboratories, forensic laboratories, and as a research tool, thin layer chromatography (TLC) plays an important role in pharmaceutical drug analyses. It requires less complicated or expensive equipment than other techniques, and has the ability to be performed under field conditions. Filling the need for an up-to-date
This work provides a clear presentation of the chromatographic process - demonstrating the functions of all associated instrumentation and the procedures necessary to obtain accurate qualitative and quantitative results.
