Can you briefly explain the theory of HILIC chromatography?
Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography or HILIC is a technique that has really been around for quite some time, based somewhere between reversed-phase (RP) and normal-phase (NP) chromatography. A highly polar stationary phase, often bare silica, is used with largely a non-polar mobile phase system (water acting as a very strong solvent in HILIC) to provide retention of polar or hydrophilic molecules.
