This may have been discussed before but I'm a complete newbie to HPLC.
Do any of you know of any books you feel a complete newbie to an HPLC would find useful? I am definitely not a chemist.
Thanks,
Pat T.

I'd start with Snyder's Practical HPLC Method Development, 2nd Ed. It's quite readable and very thorough. I've used it to good effect for years.
Hang around here & ask questions. There are quite a number of smart people here (Uwe, Tom, Bryan, Bruce, Merlin, Danko, and others come to mind) who are willing to share.
Other sources of info: LC/GC magazine, column suppliers, and (maybe) the folks that made whatever instrument you're using.

I haven't read Snyder's book yet (just received it some weeks ago) but for a really newbie maybe the following are a bit easier, giving an general overview and basic knowledge. I have to say that I just know the german version of the books, but I think the english doesn't differ a lot.
General book:
Practical High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, 4th Edition
Veronika R. Meyer
ISBN: 978-0-470-09378-8
Troubleshooting:
Pitfalls and Errors of HPLC in Pictures, 2nd Edition
Veronika R. Meyer
ISBN: 978-3-527-31372-3

My recommendation for an easy-to-read-and-understand book is Michael Dong's Modern HPLC for the Practicing Scientist. Paperback, and many useful pictures...
Book recommendation Thank yous!
