Summary

A method-oriented handbook explaining to analytical chemists how to throw away (responsibly of course) their toxic chemicals and use their expensive, solvent-extraction high-performance liquid chromatography analytic systems to perform the environmentally friendly supercritical fluid chromatography and supercritical fluid extraction for separations and chemical analysis. The promising methods were introduced abruptly into the field, and so lack the base of experience and literature that supports the older method. In addition to their environmental advantages, though, they have a cute little exotic mobile phase. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
