An Introduction to Paper Electrophoresis and Related Methods [antikvár]

Preface In the last few years several new separation techniques have been introduced in inorganic and organic chemistry.While there are already a number of good accounts of paper chromatography and ion exchange methods, paper electrophoresis has so far been only mentioned as a chapter in books on chromatography or in rather specialised treatises dealing with protein electrophoresis and its clinical applications. It was thought that a short book discussing the many techniques of paper electrophoresis employed up to date, and designed for the chemist who requires an introduction to the methods and applications of paper electrophoresis, would be of more use at the moment than a comprehensive review of the whole literature. This book was thus written to be of assistance to workers in the fields of analytical, organic, and inorganic chemistry, radiochemistry, and biochemistry and to show where electrophoresis on paper or columns can be applied to improve or speed up existing separations, especially where no other separation method has been successful, or where only minute quantities are available for study and no extensive analytical equipment is on hand. As will be seen from the contents, many fields are so far unexplored and hence the principles underlying the separations are explained as fully as possible to aid the reader in working out other separations or in applying existing ones to his special requirements.
