Combinatorial explosion in the separation sciences

von Prof. Dr. Gérard Hopfgartner

In the analytical sciences one of the major goals is to develop and validate methods for the identification and quantification of molecules in complex samples, in order to support investigations in the pharmaceutical sciences, environmental sciences, food sciences, biology and medicine. A typical workflow consists in isolating the analyte from the matrix, separating it from other similar constituents and selectively identifying them. One of the...
