Typical Applications:

The HPLC is the most successful technique in separating compounds as diverse as aminoacids, nucleic acids, and proteins in physiological samples, active drugs, steroids, carbohydrates, vitamins, dyestuffs, pesticides, polymers etc. It is used routinely for the assay of pharmaceutical products, the monitoring of drugs and metabolites in body fluids and for other biomedical, biochemical and forensic applications such as the detection of drugs of abuse. The determination of additives in foodstuffs and beverages including sugars, vitamins, flavorings and colorings and the quality control of polymers, plastics and resins are further examples of the wide and growing scope of HPLC. A summary of typical applications in various fields are listed in Table.
