The versatility of liquid chromatography (LC)
allows its applicability to countless areas. From the
quality control of various industries, such as
pharmaceutical, alimentary or chemistry, passing through
health, environmental, toxicological or forensic
activities, and also in the area of genetics or R liquid
chromatography applications are used world-wide. This
book presents key support for everyone that works or
intends to work in analytical fields, from students to
senior researchers. The principles of liquid
chromatography, the new fluorinated stationary phases or
how to achieve robustness, are examples of fundamental
liquid chromatography issues that are discussed in the
book. Furthermore reviews about the latest developments
on the LC-MS/MS determination of antibiotic residues in
food-producing animals or of emerging pollutants in
environmental samples are presented, as well as liquid
chromatography applications for the determination of
vitamin E isomers in foods. Preparative liquid
chromatography is also discussed, as is the role of
liquid chromatography to evaluate food authenticity,
namely milk and dairy products. Last but not least,
metabolomic and proteomic analysis, as well as
serendipity are important issues that also benefit
liquid chromatography utilisation. The present book is
truly innovating and, certainly, will be an important
tool for those that are engaged in analytical science in
all of the different areas of interest.
