Course: An Introduction to HPLC for Pharmaceutical Analysis

HPLC is probably the most important analytical technique used in pharmaceutical analysis. A skilled operator is required to perform HPLC analysis and therefore effective training is required by analysts who use the technique. This course provides a comprehensive treatment of HPLC theory and application in a pharmaceutical analysis environment. The first half of the course concentrates on the theory and practical implementation of the technique and includes a section which explains the different types of stationary phases and another which covers the instrumentation in detail. The second half considers the application of HPLC in pharmaceutical analysis, including a step by step guide to performing analysis and a discussion of both system suitability and quantification.
