The International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations (HPLC) is an international forum for the scientific discussion of 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, CE/MS and SFC/MS. In addition, microfluidic, nanofluidic and chip separations, diagnostic systems, and other leading technologies are also considered.
This symposium originated in 1973 in Interlaken, Switzerland. Advances in the field of liquid-phase separations are highlighted at each meeting. Meetings alternate between Europe and the United States, and odd years meetings in Europe are accompanied by another meeting in Asia/Australasia region.
