Advantages, Disadvantages & Application of High-perform liquid chromatography (HPLC)

Advantages:

  1. High Resolution: Can separate complex mixtures into individual components.

  2. Versatility: Suitable for a vast range of compounds, from ions to large biomolecules.

  3. Precision: Offers accurate and reproducible quantitative analyses.

  4. Speed: Faster analyses compared to traditional liquid chromatography, especially with the development of UHPLC (Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography).
