HPLC is an analytical technique widely used for identification, separation, detection and quantification of various drugs and its related degradants. Appropriate mobile phase, stationary phase, column, column size, temperature, wavelength and gradient selection is important for the suitable compatibility and stability of drug as well as impurities and degradants. Most of the drugs as well as other compounds can be analyzed by HPLC method because of the several advantages like rapidity, specificity, accuracy, precision and ease of automation in this method. This article has been prepared with an aim to review different aspects of HPLC, such as principle, types, mode of separation, characteristics, instrumentation, important parameters and various applications of HPLC in different fields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
