About the Author

YOICHIRO ITO is a research scientist in the Laboratory of Biophysical Chemistry, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. He invented the coil planet centrifuge, which is the basis for high-speed countercurrent chromatography. Dr. Ito has continued to develop CCC technology, introducing a variety of efficient systems such as droplet CCC, locular CCC, high-speed CCC, foam CCC, dual CCC, cross-axis CCC, and pH-zone-refining CCC. He has published more than 200 articles in scientific journals and books, and holds 40 U.S. patents, mainly on CCC technology.

WALTER D. CONWAY is an Associate Professor of Pharmaceutics and Medicinal Chemistry at the School of Pharmacy, State University of New York at Buffalo. His ex-perience includes working at the Esso Research and Engineering Co., the National Cancer Institute, the National Heart Institute, and the Sterling-Winthrop Research Institute. He has served as chairman and board member for several societies, has received a number of distinguished service awards, and is currently a member of the governing board of the Northeast Regional Chromatography Discussion Group. His work in the area of countercurrent chromatography includes the development of advanced apparatus, its theoretical basis and application to sepa-ration and purification, and writing Countercurrent Chromatography: Apparatus, Theory, and Applications. More than one- third of his 60 scientific publications are on CCC, and he has delivered over 90 papers or lectures on the topic.
