Separation Techniques in Clinical Chemistry

Aboul-Enein, a scientist at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Saudi Arabia, gives information on several analytical separation methods used in clinical chemistry. The book begins with an extensive review of sample pretreatment, followed by a discussion of the use of separation science in therapeutic drug monitoring. Several chapters are devoted to applications of high-performance liquid chromatography, while others address the application of affinity chromatography and immunochromatography in clinical analysis and examine mass spectrometry and thin-layer chromatography.
