title: Problems in using high performance liquid chromatography for drug analysis.
abstract: Some problems encountered in using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for drug analysis are discussed. These include high procurement and operational costs, lengthy training required, excessive downtimes , lower precision in HPLC versus gas chromatography (GC) and lack of a universal sensitive detector. Some solutions to these difficulties are presented.
