HPLC column:

A tube which contains the stationary phase differentially interacts with the samples constituent
compounds as they are carried along in the mobile phase.

Chromatogram:
When the separation process is monitored by the recorder starting at the time the sample is injected,
a graph is obtained. This is called a chromatogram. The time required for a compound to elute (called
retention time) and the relationship between compound concentration (amount) and the peak area
depend on the characteristics of the compound. Retention time is therefore used as an index for
quantitative determination. The retention time of the target compounds and the concentration for each
unit of peak area are based on data obtained in advance by analyzing a sample with known quantities
of the reference standards.
