The origins of HPLC date back to the invention of chromatography in the early 20th century, through the introduction of partition and paper chromatography in the 1940s, to the introduction of liquid chromatography in the early 1960s.

Kinetex core-shell HPLC particle technologies provide a high-efficiency, low-pressure solution for laboratories looking to increase productivity and decrease costs without investing in a UHPLC system.

While the fundamental components of a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system—pumps to deliver solvent, an injector, a column for separating the constituents of a sample, a detector and computing software—have remained the same, there continues to be innovations in their design and capabilities.

Recent trends in smaller particle size drives down costs and improves HPLC column and LC/MS column efficiency.

An appropriate HPLC detector has the ability to sense the presence of a compound and send its corresponding electrical signal to a computer data station.

A customer should be aware of the advantages a photo diode array detector brings to their analysis.
