Course Overview
Covers the use of high performance liquid chromatographic techniques in chemical analysis. The course starts with a brief review of separation theory applied to liquid chromatographic separations. Subsequent sections of the course cover topics related to more advanced aspects of high performance liquid chromatography. Topics include maintenance of liquid chromatographs, optimizing high performance liquid chromatographic separations, preparative scale liquid chromatography and validation in liquid chromatography. Laboratory exercises provide practical training of the principles covered in the lectures.
