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.

Research and development in the field of hyphenated techniques has been growing rapidly in the last few years, as indicated by the growing number of conferences on the subject and also the huge number of papers published on techniques such as LC-GC (Liquid Chromatography-Gas Chromatography). Multidimensional techniques - the combination of 2 separation techniques - is an important subsection of hyphenation technologies and up to now there has been no book covering all multidimensional techniques.

This monograph, edited by pioneers in the field, is the first book to review all multidimensional techniques including LC-GC, GC-GC and GC-Supercritical Fluid Chromatography. Part 1 describes the numerous combinations of techniques with much practical advice for the beginner as well as for experienced practitioners, while Part 2 details the many and varied applications in areas as diverse as polymer separations and environmental analysis.

Multidimensional Chromatography will be an invaluable resource for technicians, engineers and research scientists across a wide range of disciplines, both in industrial and academic laboratories. It is also a suitable text for graduate courses. The nature of the material means it can find a place in any analytical laboratory and scientific library.
