What is HPLC?
High-performance liquid chromatography, or HLPC, separates, identifies, and quantifies a chemical mixture’s compounds. An HLPC instrument typically consists of four major parts: a pump, an autosampler, column and detector. The HPLC analysis process is as follows:
- The pump pushes solvents through the system at a specified flow rate.
- Following injection into the mobile phase, the sample and mobile phase both travel to the head of the column from the injection point.
- The compounds are physically separated on the column’s stationary phase before the separated components travel to the detector.
- An electrical signal is analyzed to detect the presence of specific analytes.
- A chromatogram showcases the chemical separation that occurred during the analysis.
HPLC is extremely versatile, making it an effective analytical tool for a multitude of industries, including the food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and environmental monitoring industries.
How Do HPLC Testing Labs Help Manufacturers?
HPLC testing labs are a vital resource for manufacturers operating in industries where quality control is of the utmost importance. Industries such as the food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries are heavily reliant on HPLC because the analytical technique is adept at evaluating the purity and potency of substances. Impurities in food and medicine can have disastrous effects on the supply chain, leading to the following:
- Poor quality control, resulting in contaminated products
- Failure to comply with regulatory requirements
- Product recalls
- Increased likelihood of consumer harm
- Consumer mistrust of a product or company
