Publisher's Synopsis
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is now a widely applied and established analytical technique used throughout industry and research. As a tool which the analyst counts as a standard method, it is appropriate that with the increasing management of laboratory methods via microcomputers, the linking of HPLC to such systems should be considered.;The author does not intend to provide a fully comprehensive review of all the possible options which are available; but rather to assess the different approaches and explore the potential for further improvements.;The aim is to improve the efficiency of HPLC in producing analytical results by optimising the sensitivity, selectivity and speed of separation - a selection of procedures and techniques are drawn together and a wide range of approaches are considered. "HPLC" will enable readers wishing to purchase equipment and/or software for automated optimisation to consult this single reference source with confidence for comparison of the available approaches.
