Introduction to Modern Liquid Chromatography, Third Edition part 70. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is today the leading technique for chemical analysis and related applications, with an ability to separate, analyze, and/or purify virtually any sample. Snyder and Kirkland's Introduction to Modern Liquid Chromatography has long represented the premier reference to HPLC. This Third Edition, with John Dolan as added coauthor, addresses important improvements in columns and equipment, as well as major advances in our understanding of HPLC separation, our ability to solve problems that were troublesome in the past, and the application of HPLC for new kinds of samples. . | 646 BIOCHEMICAL AND SYNTHETIC POLYMER SEPARATIONS Figure Preparative separation of 10 im Zorbax Process Grade C8 150 x . load 153 mg rh-insulin from proinsulin process gradient 17-29 acetonitrile in acetic acid in six column volumes flow rate mL min.
