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.
