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.
2. Introduction:
HPLC stands for “High-performance liquid chromatography”(sometimes referred to
as High-pressure liquid chromatography).
It is used in biochemistry and analytical chemistry to identify, quantify and purify
the individual components of a mixture.
3. Principle of HPLC:
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is basically a highly improved form of
column liquid chromatography to separate compounds that are dissolved in solution.
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is principle is based on adsorption as
well as partition chromatography is depending on the nature of stationary phase.
HPLC is a chromatographic technique that can separate a mixture of compounds.

Chemical & Petrochemical industry
Forensic
Biochemical separations
Food analysis
Qualitative analysis : Checking the purity of a compound
Quantitative Analysis:
Direct comparison method
Calibration curve method
6. Advantages of HPLC
High sensitivity
High performance
Rapid process and hence time saving
Can be used for qualitative as well as quantitative estimation.
Separations fast and efficient (high resolution power)
Accurate quantitative measurements.
