Abstract

HPLC for Windows is a new and updated version of a program previously published for DOS (). It includes a number of new features and has all the advantages of a Windows program. Like the earlier HPLC, it combines emulation of a typical modern binary gradient HPLC system with sophisticated modeling of reversed-phase column behavior. The modeling, based primarily on the work of L. R. Snyder(), provides realistic chromatographic output for separations implemented over a broad range of operating conditions. The program is intended as a pedagogic aid for people who want to learn HPLC theory and practice. As such, it provides easy, inexpensive access to many of the features of a real instrument without risk of damage, consumption of supplies, and the need for constant supervision. It can be used effectively in instrumentation courses as a training exercise prior to hands-on work with the real instrument.
