Multidimensional Chromatography

Luigi Mondello is an expert in the field of multidimensional chromatography. He has published a number of books and papers in his field and has been an invited speaker at a number of conferences. He is Editor of the Journal of Separation Science. Recently he was awarded The Chromatographic Society's Silver Jubilee Medal award for his work in the field of chromatography and the COLACRO Medal for his contribution to the development and diffusion of the Chromatographic Techniques, and the HTC-Award for the most outstanding and innovative work in the field of hyphenated chromatographic techniques from the Flemish Chemical Society. He is currently Full Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the the University of Messina in Italy and permanent member of the scientific committee of the International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography; the International Symposium on Essential Oils; the International Symposium on Hyphenated Techniques in Chromatography and Hyphenated Chromatographic Analyzers; the Brazilian Symposium on Chromatography and Related Techniques; and the Congresso Latino-Americano de Cromatografia en Tecnicas Relacionades.

"...a graduate textbook and laboratory reference on...principles, procedures, and applications." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002) "...an outstanding and timely publication that will serve as an invaluable resource for a wide audience..." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 124, No. 46, 2002)"...This book should certainly find a place in any analytical laboratory or scientific library." (Int Jnl of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, Vol.82, No.10, 2002)
