High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC; formerly referred to as high-pressure liquid chromatography), is a technique in analytical chemistry used to separate, identify, and quantify each component in a mixture. It relies on pumps to pass a pressurized liquid solvent containing the sample mixture through a column filled with a solid adsorbent material. Each component in the sample interacts slightly differently with the adsorbent material, causing different flow rates for the different components and leading to the separation of the components as they flow out the column.
Modern high performance liquid chromatography or HPLC has its roots in this separation, the first form of liquid chromatography. The chromatographic process has been significantly improved over the last hundred years, yielding greater separation efficiency, versatility and speed.
High Performance Liquid Chromatography provides reliable quantitative precision and accuracy along with a high linear dynamic range to allow determination of API and related substances in a single run. A convenient method for sample preparation for solid dosage forms is dispersion in water or aqueous media modified with acetonitrile or methanol .HPLC offers several possibilities for separation of chiral molecules into their respective enantiomers. These include precolumn derivatization to form diastereomers. Alternately, specialty columns prepared with cyclodextrins or special chiral moieties as stationary phases maybe used .In short HPLC, particularly reverse phase HPLC is the most popular choice for quantitative analysis in the pharmaceutical industry. HPLC has contributed to analytical solutions in diverse fields such as pharmaceuticals, foods, life sciences, environment, forensics, etc. In the present module we shall discuss some application areas in pharmaceuticals and foods.
HPLC is distinguished from traditional ("low pressure") liquid chromatography because operational pressures are significantly higher (50-350 bar), while ordinary liquid chromatography typically relies on the force of gravity to pass the mobile phase through the column. Due to the small sample amount separated in analytical HPLC, typical column dimensions are 2.1-4.6 mm diameter, and 30-250 mm length. Also HPLC columns are made with smaller sorbent particles (2-50 micrometre in average particle size). This gives HPLC superior resolving power when separating mixtures, which makes it a popular chromatographic technique.
Increasingly, food analysis methods are built around high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which has proven to be an optimal technology for detecting and/or quantifying the vast majority of food analytes. These methods employ a stepwise approach that first removes the sample matrix, then isolates the analytes of interest and individually resolves them on a chromatographic column. The efficiency of the separation depends on, among other things, the differential interaction of analytes of interest with both mobile and column stationary phases. Of course, classifying food analytes according to their relative volatility and polarity are factors that must be considered when selecting an appropriate analytical method for their determination. Keeping track of the increasing diversity of food products with their ever-expanding profusion of additives is a daunting analytical challenge; one that must be continually met if we are to ensure the quality and safety of our food supply. HPLC is powerfully current because it's fundamental principle-selection through differential molecular interaction-is based on fundamental variations in classes of properties across all chemical species. This selection principle continues to be a rich source of methodological innovation for analytical separation, detection and quantification.
