Carbohydrate Analysis by Modern Chromatography and Electrophoresis

This book is an updated and expanded edition of Carbohydrate Analysis, High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Capillary Electrophoresis and is concerned with the analysis of carbohydrates by modern chromatography and electrophoresis including analytical and preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), field flow fractionation (FFF), capillary electrophoresis (CE), capillary electrochromatography (CEC), polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), gas chromatography (GC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). Thirty-one chapters cover: various modes of HPLC, CE, CEC, FFF, GC and SFC that are currently applied to the analysis of carbohydrates; discussions on analytical and preparative separations; descriptions of the principles of detection and quantitative determination of carbohydrates by the various separation techniques; reviews of sample preparations; and information on important applications. Furthermore, the book describes in detail the different direct and indirect detection methods that have been introduced for the sensitive detection of carbohydrates. This title is useful for a wide audience including separation scientists; analytical chemists and biochemists; carbohydrate chemists; glycoprotein and glycolipid chemists; molecular biologists; and biotechnologists. The book is also a useful reference for both the experienced analyst and the newcomer and for users of modern chromatography and electrophoresis. · Contains 31 chapters covering all aspects of carbohydrate analysis by modern chromatography and electrophoresis · Each chapter discusses the basic principles, advantages and limitations, and applications of the particular detection technique · Useful reference for both the experienced analyst and the newcomer

Professor Ziad El Rassi earned M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in analytical chemistry from Claude-Bernard University, France, in 1974 and 1978. A visiting Assistant Professorship followed at Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France. He Joined the Chemical Engineering Department at Yale University in 1980. In 1988 he accepted an Assistant Professorship at Oklahoma State University, where he later became Full professor, followed by Regents Professor. El Rassi is a member of The Asia Pacific International Symposium on Microscale Separations, The International Symposium on Capillary Electroseparation Techniques (ITP), and The Latin-American Symposium on Biotechnology, Biomedical, Biopharmaceutical and Industrial Applications of Capillary Electrophoresis and Microchip Technology. He has served on editorial boards of several international journals and as the Chairman of three international symposia. He has received several research awards and his research has resulted in 200 research publications, two books, and 250 presentations, including 170 invited lectures around the world.
