Our HPLC workshop is a 20-hour, hands-on training program where you run real samples on a High-Performance Liquid Chromatography system — from mobile phase preparation through sample injection to interpreting the final chromatogram. It's built for people who need to actually operate an HPLC, not just understand the theory behind it.
What You'll Actually Do at the Bench
Most HPLC courses spend the majority of time on slides. This workshop flips that: you spend most of the 20 hours at the instrument itself, working through the same steps an analytical chemist runs in a QC or R&D lab.
Instrument Fundamentals
You'll work through the solvent delivery system, sample injection, connecting tubing and fittings, and the commonly used detectors — building a working mental model of how the instrument actually moves a sample from vial to chromatogram.
System Suitability
Before any real run counts, you'll perform an HPLC system suitability check — confirming the instrument is performing within acceptable limits, exactly as required in a regulated QC environment.
Sample and Standard Preparation
You'll prepare your own mobile phase, prepare standard solutions, and handle sample preparation — the unglamorous but essential steps that determine whether your final data is trustworthy.
Running and Reading a Sample
You'll complete a full sample run and learn to read the resulting chromatogram: retention time, peak area, and what a clean versus problematic separation actually looks like.
Why HPLC Skills Matter
- Pharmaceutical industry — HPLC is central to drug development, quality control, and stability testing
- Food and beverage industry — used to detect additives, preservatives, and contaminants
- Environmental testing — used to analyze pollutants in water and soil samples
- Cosmetics and personal care — applied in product formulation and safety testing
HPLC's precision, reproducibility, and ability to handle non-volatile and thermally unstable compounds is why it remains one of the most widely used analytical techniques in industrial quality assurance and research — and why hands-on HPLC experience strengthens a candidacy for QC, R&D, and analytical chemist roles.
Who This Workshop Is For
- Undergraduate and postgraduate students in chemistry, biotechnology, pharmacy, or life sciences
- Job seekers targeting QC, QA, or analytical chemist positions
- Researchers who need practical instrument competency, not just theory
- Working professionals looking to upskill on HPLC method execution

Frequently Asked Questions
How does HPLC training benefit your career?
HPLC is one of the most widely used analytical techniques in pharma, food, and chemical industries. Hands-on training on the instrument strengthens your candidacy for QC, R&D, and analytical chemist positions.
Do I need prior HPLC experience to join?
No. The workshop starts from instrument fundamentals — solvent delivery, injection, detectors — before moving to sample runs, so it works for people with little or no prior hands-on HPLC exposure.
What will I actually run during the workshop?
You'll prepare your own mobile phase and standard solutions, perform a system suitability check, and complete a full sample run, then learn to interpret the resulting chromatogram.
How long is the workshop and what does it cost?
The workshop runs 20 hours, spread across up to 5 days with weekend batches available, for INR 6,000 per workshop for Indian nationals.
