Affinity Chromatography Practical and Theoretical Aspects

Affinity Chromatography combines theoretical aspects and practical applications-providing a solid understanding of affinity principles on a molecular level. Beginning with the historical background of affinity chromatography, this single-source volume discusses matrix supports and the insertion of spacers ... the chemical and physicochemical features of the adsorption and elution step ... immunoassay technology and separation of viruses and cells ... variants of affinity chromatography other than biospecific ... related techniques including affinity electrophoresis ... and much more. Written by leading experts in the field, Affinity Chromatography contains convenient features such as a concise outline format-summarizing useful information; numerous illustrations-clarifying fundamental and methodical factors; easy-to-read tables-for a quick understanding of vital material; current references-facilitating continuing study. Providing stimulation for the development of new affinity methods, this important volume is mandatory for analytical chemists, chromatographers, biochemists, biologists, microbiologists, pharmacists, and students in advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level analytical and preparative chemistry courses.
