ABSTRACT

As the purpose of this section of this volume is to address the analysis of chiral drugs, the focus has been on the main methods used. Therefore, in this chapter, other techniques are discussed not in depth but simply in the context of what they have to offer in terms of chiral drug analysis. That is not to say that these other techniques or approaches do not have their place or are of minor importance. They can be valuable in chiral drug analysis in certain instances and are often important in applications other than on chiral drugs. Techniques for chiral drug analysis other than liquid chromatography (LC) have previously been considered (1,2), but it is appropriate to briefly take a more current perspective.
