# Preparative HPLC

Preparative HPLC uses larger columns and higher flow rates than analytical HPLC to purify quantities of material rather than merely analyse it. Crude synthetic peptides are purified by preparative reversed-phase HPLC, fractions are analysed, and those meeting purity specifications are pooled and lyophilised.
