Separation Techniques in Clinical Chemistry

This text examines innovations in separation science for improved sensitivity and cost-efficiency, increased speed, higher sample throughput and lower solvent consumption in the assessment, evaluation, and validation of emerging drug compounds. The book stresses the impact of separation strategies on the study of drug biological fluid levels, bioavailability, bioequivalence, and pharmacokinetics. In this important volume, the author investigates breakthroughs in sample pretreatment, HPLC, mass spectrometry, capillary electrophoresis and therapeutic drug monitoring for improved productivity, precision, and safety in clinical chemistry, biomedical analysis, and forensic research.
