Michal Douša has been working in the pharmaceutical company Zentiva since 2007 as a head of the separation methods department. His research is focused on separation techniques, especially hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and chiral separation. He gained previous work experience at various workplaces in the field of HPLC analysis of water, soil, food, and feed. He is the author of a book on HPLC theory and practice and one book chapter. He published over 65 peer-reviewed scientific articles withmore than 850 citations and H-index of 18. He is also involved in teaching and education activities, such as HPLC and validation training courses and seminars.
Petr Česla is an Associate professor of analytical chemistry, Head of the Department of analytical chemistry, and Vice-dean for Research and Creative Activities of the Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice. In his research work, he focuses on the development of separation techniques in liquid phase, mainly liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis, with the special attention to the two-dimensional separations, optimization procedures, data processing, and coupling of LC and CE to mass spectrometry. He has been engaged in many research projects and acts as principal investigator of several projects of Czech Science Foundation. He is author of more than 60 papers in scientific journals with H-index of 18 and more than 1070 citations, co-author of one book and two book chapters.

Jiří Urban received a Ph.D. in 2007 in the group of Pavel Jandera at the University of Pardubice, the Czech Republic, where he worked until 2016. During 2009 – 2011, he followed post-doctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, in the František Švec and Jean M. J. Fréchet group. In 2017 he moved to the Department of Chemistry, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, where he became an Associate Professor in 2018. In his research, he utilizes multifunctional polymer monoliths to develop new analytical methods applicable to metabolomics and proteomics. He also focuses on the design of new instrumental setups for two-dimensional liquid chromatography. He published over 51 peer-reviewed scientific articles with more than 1400 citations and H-index of 22.
<h3>Reviewers’ feedback</h3>
“It was an honor to serve as a reviewer for this comprehensive book on liquid chromatography, and I am grateful to the authors for the opportunity to contribute to such a valuable resource. The book provides an excellent balance of content for those new to the field and those with advanced expertise, making it a versatile and accessible guide for chromato- graphers at all levels. The clarity of the explanations, the quality of the figures (I cannot imagine the time it takes to draw all the figures contained within the book), coupled with the in-depth discussions, allow me to further expand my understanding of liquid chromatography in some points. This book, with its well-structured content and broad appeal, is sure to become a bestseller and make a significant contribution to the chromatography community. I am confident that readers, whether novice or experienced, will find immense value in its pages.”

 “This book presents a very comprehensive overview of modern HPLC theory and practice that will be of great interest to anyone looking to immerse themselves into the technique. The book gives an overview of all aspects of liquid chromatography, from basic concepts of chromatography, covering all chromatographic modes, to novel trends in HPLC, such as 2D-LC and micro-pillar array columns, and a very useful chapter on troubleshooting. The many clear and informative illustrations make the book very practical and applicable. This is a must-have for anyone who is teaching or learning HPLC.”

The Czech Chromatographic School is a non-profit private scientific association. Its goal is to bring together experts and beginners in the field of separation science from industry, academia, and vendors to share their knowledge.

Česká chromatografická škola

<h5>The main objectives of our association are:</h5>
<ul>
<li>to support and carry out education in the field of separation science</li>
<li>to promote and disseminate separation science to both, scientific and general public with an emphasis on young generation</li>
<li>to search for new applications of separation science</li>
<li>to organize <a href="https://lcms.cz/companies/216">a conference HPLC.cz</a> in Czech Republic</li>
</ul>
Education in the field of separation science is carried out through scientific seminars, workshops, practical training, and scientific conferences. Since 2008, the Czech Chromatographic School has organized seven scientific conferences which were well attended by both academics and by members of the industry. The last two conference events attracted more than 150 participants.
Furthermore, the Czech Chromatographic School cooperates with a wide spectrum of vendors in the form of scientific seminars and training. The most successful event is a regular two-day practical training in HPLC in collaboration with Pragolab.
