Caffeine having different wavelents it having 2 maximas and 1 minima. 1st maxima is 205nm 2nd maxima is 273nm minima is 245nm and it is primary reference standard and also suggested in pharmacopiea.

Caffeine responds in 3 wavelength regions i.e

196 - 208nm in which caffeine maxima at 203±2nm

240 - 248nm in which caffeine minima at 244±2nm

270 - 278nm in which caffeine maxima at 273±2nm

So it covers the operation range of HPLC UV detector to perform wavelength accuracy.

Apart from this Caffeine elutes in approx 2 min when using any C18 column which helps in reducing run time.

That s the caffeine is preferred than any other standards for HPLC calibration

It is very stable(3 days at room temp.) ,it is having multi wavelength like 2 maxi ma (205 ,273 nm and minima(245nm) and cheap cost.

Why caffeine is used in calibration of hplc?

it is retained to a lesser extent....has dual wavelength detection (245nm, 350nm) and gives a sharp and consistent peak.


How do you distinguised np-hplc and rp-hplc?

NP-HPLC is "Normal Phase" HPLC, wherein the solvents used are less polar than the substrate in the HPLC column (e.g. using hexane or dichloromethane with a silica HPLC column). RP-HPLC is "Reverse-Phase" HPLC, wherein the solvents used are more polar than the substrate in the HPLC column (e.g. using Water and Methanol with a octadecylsilane (ODS or C18) column).


What are the HPLC Calibration parameters and elaborate it?

1. Flow rate 2. Temp. of column 3. Detector function 4. Resolution
