What really goes into running a HPLC: Infographic

Right from the time you complete your graduation, post graduation, doctorate or you are working in industry you may have to rely on HPLC to answer some vital questions. Most of us believe that it is enough to be able to run the software and inject samples.

Most of the time will be spent preparing the samples, mobile phase, buffers, filling log books and various forms and formats.
