Reversed-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) is a purification method that is commonly used for the separation of many different types of compounds due to its reproducibility and broad applicability. Many researchers use RP-HPLC for isolation of target peptides from organic scavengers, terminated sequences, deletion sequences, and chemically modified sequences from side reactions during either the synthesis or the cleavage of the peptide. Below are some scientific articles that can aid those that would like to become more familiar with the technique, as well as provide a variety of method alterations that can be made for improved separation of peptides from impurities. The most general, and often useful, resources are listed first. For those that want to learn more, the training video for our Teledyne ISCO ACCQPrep HP150 HPLC Preparative System may be useful as well. The introduction also has a great overview of RP-HPLC.
