Liquid chromatography is a well-established technique for the separation of substances. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a suitable method for the analysis of a wide range of application areas. Here, we describe the principle of HPLC and introduce to the most important components in an HPLC system and the factors that determine the success of a measurement.
