A pharmaceutical laboratory cannot tell everything about a drug sample just by looking at it.
The sample may contain several different substances, and each one needs to be identified and measured through laboratory testing.
HPLC, which stands for High Performance Liquid Chromatography, is one of the techniques used for this kind of analysis.
It separates substances in a sample as they pass through the HPLC system, allowing them to be detected and measured.
For example, when testing a drug sample, an analyst can use HPLC to obtain information about the substances present and the amount detected.
The results can then be compared with the requirements for the test.
HPLC is commonly used in pharmaceutical analysis, including laboratory work related to pharmaceutical quality control and analytical testing.
Learning HPLC also goes beyond knowing what the abbreviation means.
Someone working with the technique needs to understand the equipment, prepare samples correctly, follow the testing method and work with the results.
TIPT’s HPLC Certificate Program provides practical training in HPLC instrumentation, method development and validation.
