Liquid chromatography (LC) is a well-known extraction methodology which is widely utilized in the analysis of solutions, where the primary objective is to detect and quantify contaminant elements. The basic premise of liquid chromatography revolves around the separation of a solution’s constituents by their ionic or molecular properties. This separation occurs when the sample is strategically injected into an LC column containing […]

Beverage Profiling with HPLC and UHPLC

BEERAGE V2 2  1336x800 - Beverage Profiling with HPLC and UHPLC

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used to separate, identify, and quantify compounds present in various types of samples, including many beverages. Advances in instrumentation and column technology led to the development of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), which offers increased resolution, speed, and sensitivity. These powerful analytical techniques are widely used in the beverage industry […]
