High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a powerful analytical technique used to separate, identify, and quantify components in a mixture. It involves passing a liquid sample through a high-pressure column filled with solid adsorbent material. Different interactions between the sample components and the adsorbent cause the components to separate as they move through the column. The separated components are then detected and quantified. HPLC is essential in pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and food safety due to its precision and versatility.
