INTRODUCTION
Because of its very high resolving power, reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) plays a central role in fractionation of complex polypeptide samples during protein (or peptide) purification and identification, especially prior to mass spectrometry. Before analyzing a mixture of proteins or peptides by RP-HPLC, it is essential to evaluate the HPLC system. When a new column arrives in the laboratory, read the manufacturers instructions for proper conditioning, use, and storage. Once these are understood, carry out this protocol to perform a test separation using a set of protein standards that have been designed to evaluate column performance.
