Purity Testing – HPLC

Ensuring Research-Grade Quality with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

In peptide research, purity isn’t optional — it’s essential. Any impurities or by-products can compromise experimental results and render data unreliable. At our facility, we use High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) as the gold standard to validate peptide quality and ensure research-grade materials.

What is HPLC?

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a precise analytical method used to separate, identify, and quantify components in a compound.
It works by passing liquid samples through a column filled with solid adsorbent material, revealing any present impurities.

  • Detects impurities and degradation products
  • Provides detailed analysis of molecular structure
  • Ensures batch consistency and reliability

Importance in Peptide Purity

Peptides are highly sensitive to degradation and contamination. HPLC helps:

    • Detect hidden impurities
    • Validate molecular integrity
    • Confirm purity levels exceed 99%
    • Support reproducible research outcomes

Without HPLC, there’s no guarantee that peptide samples are free of by-products that could skew your results.

HPLC Workflow Explanation

1. HPLC Workflow Explanation

Contains the mobile phase (solvent) that carries the sample through the system.

2. Pump

Pushes the solvent through the system at high pressure, enabling consistent flow through the column.

3. Injector (Sample Input)

A precise amount of sample is injected into the solvent stream. This sample typically contains a mixture of compounds to be separated.

4. HPLC Column

This is the heart of the system. Inside, compounds in the sample interact differently with the stationary phase material and get separated based on polarity, size, or affinity.

5. Detector

Detects separated compounds as they elute from the column.
The most common detector measures UV absorbance, but other detectors can also be used.

6. Data Acquisition System

Converts detector signals into a chromatogram (a graphical representation of compound elution).
Each peak corresponds to a different component in the sample.

7. Waste Collector

Collects the used solvent and sample waste for safe disposal.

Our Commitment to Quality

We are dedicated to providing only the highest quality peptides for your research. By integrating High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) into every stage of our production, we ensure each batch meets or exceeds industry standards. This level of precision and consistency is not just a feature — it’s a foundation of trust.

Conclusion

Peptide research demands uncompromised purity. HPLC offers a powerful, reliable way to confirm that purity, ensuring every compound is ready for high-stakes scientific work. With our rigorous testing and quality assurance process, your research is backed by confidence, precision, and integrity.
