3.6 Summary

This chapter described the basic applications and operation of an HPLC system. Modern HPLC systems significantly expand the capabilities of chromatography to include the relatively delicate biomolecules that are so abundant in nature. Current research in ultra high pressure systems may result in HPLC performances that match those of capillary column GC in the near future. Basic non-confirmatory detectors systems were described in this chapter and confirmatory identification by mass spectrometer techniques that are applicable to all forms of chromatography will be covered in Chapter 4.
