What Types of HPLC are Commonly Used in Cancer Research?
Several types of HPLC are used in cancer research, each suited for different analytical needs:
Reverse-Phase HPLC (RP-HPLC): The most common type, used for non-polar compounds. Ion-Exchange HPLC: Ideal for separating charged molecules, such as nucleotides and proteins. Size-Exclusion HPLC: Utilized for separating molecules based on size, often used for protein analysis. Affinity HPLC: Enables separation based on specific interactions, such as antigen-antibody binding.
