The Basics of HILIC

Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) is applicable to the separation of very polar, highly water soluble analytes which are often poorly retained (if at all) under reversed phase HPLC conditions. In this quick guide you will learn about the basic science which underpins this powerful technique.

Module

HILIC

The aim of this unit is to introduce hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) as a novel mode of chromatography. We will present both advantages and limitations of the HILIC separation mode. Electrostatic repulsion hydrophilic interaction chromatography (ERLIC) will also be discussed as a new HPLC option for hydrophilic analytes. The concepts of ion exchange chromatography and its separation potential for certain ionic samples will be explored.

HILIC Conditioning and Equilibration
Quick Guide

HILIC Conditioning and Equilibration

Conditioning and equilibration are important for many HPLC methods to avoid inconsistent retention times between analyses. Particular consideration has to be given to HILIC methods due to the mechanism of analyte retention via an adsorbed water layer at the stationary phase surface. This quick guide will provide you with some practical information on where to start with HILIC column conditioning and equilibration.
