Course Description:
Students will learn concepts of the HPLC, the utility of each working part and the effects it has on the separation of chemicals. This will ensure a better understanding of how the instrument puts chemistry to work, so that the students may fully understand the utility of the HPLC as a whole ensuring better operating skills and hence being able to produce better more consistent results.

Course Mechanics/Schedule:
Lecture sessions:
This course consists of six lecture sessions, each being four hours long.
Practical sessions:
After the first lecture the whole batch will be taken into the lab for a primilinary lab session. Then students will be divided into equal groups and will be appointed a date where they will perform hands on tasks (runs) in the lab.
