Reviews

I found this book to be an excellent reference for monolithic chromatography, well organized and presented in an easy to understand style. I would strongly recommend the book to all analytical laboratories thinking of improving their separation protocols. Review by Sanjay Garg, University of Auckland, New Zealand, in Bioanalysis, 2011, 3: 5 [This book] serves as an introductory reader that is likely to inspire both seasoned scientists already working with monoliths and novices who want to encounter them for the first time and see how they can be applied in their work. Thus, this book could be a helpful resource for scientists and practitioners engaged in analytical chemistry and related fields. Review by F. Svec, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA, in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2011, 401: 5
