High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a technique used to separate, qualify, and quantify components in a sample through interactions between a mobile phase and a stationary phase. It offers advantages such as high sensitivity and the ability to analyze both polar and non-polar compounds without vaporization. The document discusses the principles, mechanisms, and equipment used in HPLC, along with comparisons to Gas Chromatography (GC) and methods for calibration and analysis.
