What Does HPAEC Stand For?

HPAEC stands for High Performance Anion Exchange Chromatography

HPAEC, or High Performance Anion Exchange Chromatography, is an advanced analytical technique used for the separation and quantification of anionic compounds, including carbohydrates, organic acids, and nucleotides. This method utilizes high-performance columns and specialized buffer systems to achieve high resolution and sensitivity, making it ideal for complex mixture analyses in biochemistry, food science, and environmental studies. HPAEC is recognized for its ability to provide detailed structural information and to facilitate the study of glycan structures and metabolic pathways.
