ABSTRACT:

The term UPLC, meaning “Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography,” was introduced by Waters Corporation when they introduced their Acquity LC system. The underlying principles of this evolution are governed by the van Demeeter equation, which is an empirical formula that describes the relationship between linear velocity (flow rate) and plate height (HETP or column efficiency). It was found that HETP decreases to a minimum value and then increases with increasing flow rate. According to FDA, validation is defined as establishing documented evidence that provides a high degree of assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its predetermined specifications and quality attributes. UPLC can accommodate more number of samples than HPLC so sample throughput is enhanced. It gives not only high quality results but also ensures the safety of data by using security based data collection software.

Keywords: UPLC, HPLC, principle, instrumentation, applications.
