Students will execute basic analytical processes and use HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) instrumentation to perform analysis of trace organic compounds. You will learn to analyze biological samples for trace levels of drug and pesticide residues using HPLC. Students will perform standard preparation, reagent preparation, and sample extractions for HPLC analysis. Participants also learn about calibrating an HPLC system as well learn to follow a method developed to determine trace levels of an organic contaminant in biological samples.
