    Study Notes

    High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)

    • Solid-phase is not a type of HPLC column.
    • HPLC columns can be classified into three types: Reverse-phase, Normal-phase, and Size-exclusion.
    • The stationary phase in HPLC separates sample components based on interactions.

    HPLC Detectors

    • The Refractive Index Detector is commonly used in HPLC for compounds that absorb UV or visible light.
    • Other types of detectors used in HPLC include the Diode Array Detector, Mass Spectrometer, and Flame Ionization Detector.

    Gel Electrophoresis

    • The primary purpose of gel electrophoresis in molecular biology is to separate DNA fragments by size.
    • Agarose gel is the most commonly used gel for DNA separation.
    • Other applications of gel electrophoresis do not include amplifying DNA sequences, sequencing DNA, or synthesizing RNA.
