Chromatography

HPLC analysis

No items found.

Apply the theory of separation in HPLC to tackle questions about order of elution and the retention factor. Analyse HPLC chromatograms and practise calculating the mathematical variables which describe separation in HPLC before applying your knowledge to a method development scenario.

Learning outcomes

  • Predict the order of elution of different analytes based on their polarities.
  • Predict the effect of altering HPLC system parameters on analyte retention and separation quality.
  • Calculate retention factor, selectivity, efficiency and resolution from a chromatogram.
