MCQ on HPLC (High Performance Lipid Chromatography) with Answers (PDF)

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is an advanced analytical technique used to separate, identify, and quantify components in a mixture. HPLC involves a liquid mobile phase that carries the sample through a column packed with a stationary phase. Components in the sample interact differently with the stationary phase, leading to their separation. A detector measures the separated components as they elute from the column, and the resulting data is used for analysis. HPLC is widely used in pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, food analysis, and biochemistry due to its precision, speed, and ability to handle complex mixtures. This is an MCQ on HPLC with Answers. You can download the questions as PDF from the download link provided in the result page of this quiz.
