Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography: A Guide for Practitioners

Discover how to use HILIC to analyze and better understandpolar compounds

An increasingly popular analytical method, hydrophilicinteraction chromatography (HILIC) has the ability to retain andseparate polar compounds that are often difficult to analyze byreversed–phase high–performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) orother analytical methods. Offering a comprehensive review, thisbook enables readers to develop a fundamental understanding of howHILIC works and then apply that knowledge to develop and implementa variety of practical applications.

Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography begins withdiscussions of HILIC retention mechanisms, stationary phases, andgeneral method development. This sets the foundation for the book′sextensive coverage of applications. The authors address uniqueseparation challenges for bioanalytical, environmental,pharmaceutical, and biochemical applications. Moreover, there is athorough discussion of HILIC in two–dimensional chromatography.

With contributions from leading analytical scientists who haveextensive experience in HILIC as well as HPLC, HydrophilicInteraction Chromatography serves as a practical guide forresearchers, featuring:

Detailed examples of HILIC methods and developmentapproaches Thorough explanations of retention mechanisms and the impact ofstationary phase and mobile phase properties on separations Step–by–step guidance for developing efficient, sensitive, androbust HILIC methods References to the primary literature at the end of eachchapter

Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography is written forscientists who use or develop analytical methods for the separationof polar compounds. In particular, these researchers will discoverhow HILIC can be used to analyze and better understand thecomposition of pharmaceutical, bioanalytical, biochemical,chemical, food, and environmental samples.
