HPLC Guide
I am currently working in a section with lots of HPLC equipment. We have recently had the pleasure of several work experience people come and visit our lab and I was asked to show one of these people what I was doing. I was in the middle of prepearing to do a batch of vitamins A & E for analysis.
I explain what I was doing during the preperation, then I described the equipment I was about to use to perform the analysis, a HPLC system. I pointed out the basic elements of the system, pump, column etc and I then pointed out the same elements in the other HPLC systems in the section, including the same elements in the tandem mass spec.
Thinking about this experience reminded me about a picture I had prepared for training purposes of a HPLC system with labels pointing out the various elements. I thought this image would be useful for other people to use for training purposes also. I have included a labelled and unlabelled version for people to download and use.
