HPLC Series

The HPLC series since its first edition in 1973 in Interlaken, Switzerland, has established itself as one of the leading conferences in analytical chemistry and in particular in the field of separations sciences and related topics. The emphasis of the meeting will be around fundamentals aspects of separations sciences, sample preparation, novel developments and applications as well as hyphenation with mass spectrometry.

HPLC History

HPLC is an international forum for the scientific discussion of the methods of high performance liquid chromatography in its various forms, along with the complementary separation techniques such as electrophoresis, electrochromatography, field-flow fractionation, supercritical fluid chromatography and hyphenated techniques, such as LC/MS and CE/MS. In addition, microfluidics, separations on chips, diagnostic systems, and other leading technologies are also considered.

This conference originated in 1973. Advances in the field of liquid-phase separations are highlighted at each meeting. The meetings alternated between Europe and the United States with even years being in the US. Since 2008 additional meetings are held in Asia and other continents.
