Principles of separation used in liquid chromatography - thermodynamic aspects of separation processes. Transport of compounds through column - kinetic aspects of separation processes, comparison of HPLC and GC. Extra column volume in HPLC. Separation process in HPLC (resolution, selectivity, capacity, efficiency). Instrumentation in HPLC - solvent delivery systems, injection devices, columns. Detectors, reactive detectors, auxiliary devices. Registration and evaluation of data. Hyphenation of HPLC and spectral techniques (HPLC/MS, HPLC/FTIR, HPLC/NMR). Flow of mobile phase through column, used sorbents and their comparison. Chromatographic systems - description of retention, mechanisms of separation, application. Chromatography with polar stationary phases (normal-phases). Reversed-phase liquid chromatography. Ion-pair chromatography, use of secondary equilibria. HILIC systems. Liquid-liquid chromatography. Separation of chiral compounds. Ion exchagers in analytical chemistry, ion-exchange chromatography. Size-exclusion and affinity chromatography. Selection of chromatographic system, experimental conditions and their optimization. Microcolumn HPLC, preparative liquid chromatography. Further systems in liquid chromatography (low- and medium pressure systems). Paper and thin-layer chromatography - sorbents, selection of experimental conditions, detection, instrumentation, application. Migration of ions in electrical field. Ion mobility. Limit, actual and effective mobility of ions. Types of electromigration methods. Electrophoresis and electroosmotic flow. Electrokinetic zeta-potential, electric double-layer.
