COMMISSION ON SEPARATION METHODS IN ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
(V.3)
Number: 530/9/95
Series: Mobile Phases for Liquid Chromatography
Title: Part I: Descriptive Terminology
Coordinator(s): P.A.
Siskos and D.P. Nikolelis
Remarks: Collaboration with ASTM
Completion Date: 1999
Objective:
This work is part of a planned series of projects covering liquid
chromatography. This analytical technique is the most widely used analytical
method and is used in almost every areas of industry. It has particular
importance in the pharmaceutical, food, healthcare and environmental
fields and underlies much of the modern chemical industry. Although
the technique has been discussed in many projects as yet little work
has been done to systematize the Nomenclature in this area. The general
Nomenclature for Chromatography was principally developed before liquid
chromatography reached the present importance and there are considerable
gaps in its coverage. This paper will included revised definitions for
a number of terms related to the mobile phase in separation methods.
Progress:
Draft paper has undergone a number of revisions and has recently
been circulated within the Commission in final draft form.
Project abandoned - the most important terms that were defined
in this project have been incorporated in the projects 530/12/97
and 530/13/97.
