Back To Basics: Fundamental Concepts of HPLC & UHPLC

Ever wondered why your chromatographic peaks do not always look the same? Why the efficiency values differ day-to-day? Or what the difference is between one C18 column and another? This webinar is intended as a first introduction to HPLC and UHPLC and is suitable for anyone who wants to gain a basic understanding of these techniques.

An outline of hardware and different modes of separation will be considered. This course will provide a good foundation from which to progress to more advanced training. A number of topics will be covered during the seminar:

Principles and history of chromatography

• Basics of the chromatographic process
• U/HPLC column chemistry
• Components of an HPLC system
• Important chromatographic parameters
