Solutions to First HPLC Program Quiz


HPLC Quiz
The first HPLC quiz was published on the site on 18 June 2014 and I am glad to inform that a number of our subscribers scored over 80% in response to the discount offer and have earned 20% discount on the course fee. I take this opportunity to congratulate all those who qualified for the discount.
The quiz has certainly left some unanswered questions in your mind. As the discount offer is over now I feel duty bound to provide you the correct answers to the multiple choice questions. Please read on for the correct solutions
I sincerely hope that everyone will take active interest in our programs and educational exercises in future as well.
