ABSTRACT
High performance liquid chromatography is the topic of this primer, but the starting point for this goes much further back than modern times. Chromatography is a technique that has a number of forms, such as thin layer chromatography (TLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and gas liquid chromatography (GLC, although more commonly known as GC). Each of these forms of chromatography has a variety of uses in the analytical sciences.
