High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is an important separation
technique for compounds of low or no volatility thus it makes a nice complimentary
procedure to GC. Like GC and all other chromatographic techniques,
in HPLC the separation is based on a partitioning of the sample components
on a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The liquid mobile phase
is the variable. Both the polarity and pH of the mobile phase can
be varied. We possess a Waters 510 HPLC equipped with a Waters 991 UV-VIS photodiode
array detector. This equipment was obtained with the aid of a 1995
National Science Foundation Grant written by Dr. Franz.
