Lipid Analysis

This book is a practical guide in one compact volume to the complexities of the analysis of lipids from animal and plant tissues. Methods for chromatography, chemical analysis and spectroscopy of lipids are critically described with 900 references. The basic principles of each technique are discussed and selected procedures are described in such detail that the book should serve as a primary source, of value at the laboratory bench. Chapters follow a logical sequence from the extraction of lipids from tissues to the isolation and characteriaation of particular lipid classes and of the molecular species of each. In this second edition there is a chapter on the separation of lipoprotein classes.
