Both analytical and preparative-scale enantioseparation techniques are covered in a down-to-earth practical way. The most important aspects of design, modelling, economics and safety are considered with emphasis on current European and North American legislation. In addition, the theory of chiral separation is covered in sufficient detail to guide the practising chromatographer interested in developing new techniques.

A team of experts from academic and industrial laboratories throughout the world have compiled their findings and experience to make this book an exceptionally timely and unique contribution to the field.
