What do you know about HPLC and LC-MS? How much have you used them? What are the different components of it?

Question

Accepted Answer

HPLC and LC-MS are analytical techniques used in chemistry to separate, identify, and quantify components in a mixture.

HPLC stands for High Performance Liquid Chromatography, used to separate and quantify components in a mixture based on their interactions with a stationary phase and mobile phase.
LC-MS stands for Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, combines the separation capabilities of liquid chromatography with the mass analysis capabilities of mass spectrometry.
Components of HPLC include a pump, injector, column, detector, and data analysis software.
Components of LC-MS include a liquid chromatography system, mass spectrometer, and data analysis software.
I have used HPLC and LC-MS extensively in my previous research projects.
