Basic principles of HPLC, LCMS,GCMS,etc etc..

Question

Accepted Answer

HPLC, LCMS, and GCMS are analytical techniques used in chemistry to separate, identify, and quantify components in a mixture.

HPLC stands for High Performance Liquid Chromatography and is used to separate and quantify components in a liquid mixture.
LCMS stands for Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry and is used to identify and quantify components in a liquid mixture.
GCMS stands for Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry and is used to separate, identify, and quantify components in a gas mixture.
All of these techniques involve passing a sample through a column containing a stationary phase and a mobile phase, which separates the components based on their physical and chemical properties.
The separated components are then detected and quantified using various methods, such as UV-Vis spectroscopy or mass spectrometry.
These techniques are widely used in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, environmental analysis, and forensic science.
