What are main components of HPLC ?

Question

Accepted Answer

The main components of HPLC are the mobile phase, stationary phase, pump, injector, column, detector, and data acquisition system.

Mobile phase: The solvent or mixture of solvents that carries the sample through the system.
Stationary phase: The solid or liquid phase that retains the analytes based on their interactions.
Pump: Responsible for delivering the mobile phase at a constant flow rate.
Injector: Introduces the sample into the mobile phase stream.
Column: Contains the stationary phase where separation of analytes occurs.
Detector: Detects and measures the analytes as they elute from the column.
Data acquisition system: Collects and analyzes the detector signals to generate chromatograms and quantitate analytes.

Accepted Answer

Main components in an HPLC system include the solvent reservoir, or multiple reservoirs, a high-pressure pump, a column, injector system and the detector.
