Laserchrom Review : This is an excellent and comprehensive textbook of HPLC. There are many books which are good to have as a reference source, but this latest book, published in August 2004, is well worth buying. As with all Veronika Meyers books, its technical content is spot on, and is written in bite size chapters so you can actually read it! As a final bonus, although this book costs £85.00 for a hardcover edition, you might like to try Father Christmas with the excellent value soft cover edition at just £40.00!

Publishers Summary :Veronika Meyer's book on HPLC is a classic text and remains one of the few titles available on general HPLC.

The previous edition has been revised, expanded and updated. Where available, old literature references have been repalced by recent ones. New sections have been included on the following topics

• Shelf Life of mobile phases
• The mixing cross
• Phase systems in ion chromatography
