How to Find: Basic information on Chromatography

Most of the basic chemistry books that would give general background information on Chromatography are found in the Physical and Mathematical Sciences Library, 201 Davey Lab, at University Park.

Encyclopedias

There are numerous encyclopedias, in print and online, that contain basic information about Chromatography. Use the links below or search these titles in the CAT.

Try:

McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology (print), or its online equivalent Access Science
Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry in print or online
Encyclopedia of Chromatography (print)
Encyclopedia of Analytical Science (print)
Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry (print)
Van Nostrand's Scientific Encyclopedia (print)

Search "chromatography" in collections of online reference books, such as:

Gale Virtual Reference Library (for example, the entry in the Gale Encyclopedia of Science)
Knovel (entry in Dean's Analytical Chemistry Handbook, 2nd edition)

Books

Search the CAT to find books on chromatography. Instead of the default Keywords Anywhere search, do a Keyword search and change the drop down box to Topic (Title + Subject). Try terms such as "chromatography" or "chromatographic analysis" or "instrumental analysis" to retrieve books like:

Principles of Instrumental Analysis, 6th edition
Chromatography : concepts and contrasts, 2nd edition
A century of separation science 2002
Chromatography theory 2002
Chromatography: a science of discovery, in print or online

Photocopies of chapters from several of the above mentioned books are available at Life Sciences Desk, 4 Paterno, University Park.

Articles

Articles on the history of Chromatography can be found searching databases such as:

Web of Science
SciFinder Scholar (this is a database that requires the user to register see http://www.libraries.psu.edu/psul/pams/download.html for more details)

Most articles will be too detailed for general information, but background information can be found in some articles, available from various sources. Copies of the ones listed below are available at the Life Sciences Reference Desk, 4 Paterno, University Park. Examples include:
