For more than four decades, scientists and researchers have relied on the Advances in Chromatography series for the most up-to-date information on a wide range of developments in chromatographic methods and applications. For Volume 51, the series editors have invited established, well-known chemists from across the globe to offer cutting-edge reviews on their areas of expertise—from theoretical aspects to novel and established applications of chromatographic techniques.Featured topics include Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics in Nonlinear Chromatography and Electrophoresis: Theory and ApplicationsBiomimetic Chromatography: A Useful Tool in the Drug Discovery ProcessSolid-Phase Microextraction for In Vivo Pharmacokinetics and Other Stages of Drug DevelopmentIdentification and Detection of Antibiotic Drugs and Their Degradation Products in Aquatic SamplesSample Preparation for Chromatographic AnalysisDevelopment of HPLC Retention Index QSAR Models for Nontargeted MetabolomicsThin Layer Chromatography with a Controlled Gas Phase Influencing on the Separation The clear presentation of topics and vivid illustrations for which this series has become known makes the material accessible and engaging to analytical, biochemical, organic, polymer, and pharmaceutical chemists at all levels of technical skill.
