Inquiry

HPLC is a technique for separation, identification and quantification of components in a mixture. It is especially suitable for compounds which are not easily volatilized, thermally unstable and have high molecular weights.

The liquid phase is pumped at a constant rate to the column packed with the stationary phase. Before entering the column the analysis sample is injected into the carrier stream. On reaching the column the sample components are selectively retained on the basis of physic-chemical interactions between the analytic molecules and the stationary phase. The mobile phase moving at a steady rate elutes the components based on the operating conditions. Detection techniques are employed for detection and quantification of the eluted components.

High performance liquid chromatography is basically a highly improved form of column chromatography. Instead of a solvent being allowed to drip through a column under gravity, it is forced through under high pressures of up to 400 atmospheres. That makes it much faster.

It also allows you to use a very much smaller particle size for the column packing material which gives a much greater surface area for interactions between the stationary phase and the molecules flowing past it. This allows a much better separation of the components of the mixture.

The other major improvement over column chromatography concerns the detection methods which can be used. These methods are highly automated and extremely sensitive.
