Im from biotech field and I suck in chemistry... I dont even fully know the principles of chromatography...
But somehow fate pulls me into a chemistry field and I need to learn from scratch.. I hope there are chemistry experts here... Lets start by introducing ourselves so that the comments or advice given is more credible.. Ill start even though im a noob..

Education: Biotechnology (USM)
Current status: Masters in Biochemistry (Hokkaido University)

and I have a basic problem.. WHat are the purpose of HPLC?? to purify a compound? And why cant I just throw my unknown compound in and purify it??

Actually I have a bigger discussion but just wanna start by getting to know if there are any experts here first.. no use going into the question if theres nobody here who can help

except jerk here i dont see any other who could help me..
