Question
Which one of the below statements is wrong regarding the HPLC technique? Choose one answer. Retention time for each component can be obtained High temperature is being utilized The mobile phase is a liquid Is one of the chromatography techniques
Solution
The incorrect statement regarding the HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) technique is "High temperature is being utilized". HPLC does not necessarily require high temperatures. The temperature in HPLC is often controlled and can be set to any value, but it is not typically high. The other statements are correct.
