Pharmacy students explore HPLC analytical techniques with Director of the Institute of Pharmacy, Sigma University (India)
- 01/08/2025
Guided by Dr. Patil Priyanka Sunil, Director of the Institute of Pharmacy and Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Sigma University (India), the workshop titled “Hands-on Training: Advanced Analytical Instrumentation” was jointly organized by the Faculty of Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH) and its Department of International Relations and Project Management on July 31. The event opened new opportunities for students to access modern HPLC analytical technology.
At the workshop, Dr. Patil Priyanka Sunil focused on introducing and delving into High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), one of the most widely used and essential analytical techniques in pharmaceuticals and life sciences. She clearly explained the principles behind HPLC, the structure of the equipment, and how the system operates, covering components from the pump and sample injector to the chromatography column and detector. This content not only provided students with fundamental knowledge but also highlighted the critical role of HPLC in drug quality testing and pharmaceutical formulation development.

Following that, the speaker elaborated on key factors that influence chromatographic performance, such as the composition and pH of the mobile phase, type of chromatography column, flow rate, column temperature, and type of detector. She also emphasized the importance of optimizing analysis conditions to achieve the best resolution, shorten analysis time, and improve result accuracy. Through practical examples from pharmaceutical research and production, she helped participants understand how to select and adjust parameters to match specific analytical objectives, such as determining active ingredient content, assessing impurities, or studying metabolic products.
