Areas of study will include the following: classification of chromatographic processes (adsorption, partition and ion exchange); thermodynamic and kinetic theory of chromatography; separation performance (resolution versus retention time); instrumentation for capillary GC (columns, injectors, detectors and temperature programming); instrumentation for HPLC (columns, detectors and gradient elution); capillary electrophoresis and applications of both GC and HPLC to separation and quantitation of priority substances. -- Course Website
