You didn't learn this much from a family member that worked in the field. I literally worked a few feet away from an entire analytical array of equipment and watched 100s of my own samples processes daily. I don't know dick about HPLC, FTIR, MS, GC, etc...
I'm not claiming you don't know, but I'd be sure surprised if you learned through osmosis.
Nice debate we (you and Jano) have going back and forth however.

yes it is good one. Although I can assure you 100% that I have not ever worked in this field, you're just going to have take my word on that one.
Just out of curiosity what kind of lab did you say your family member worked in? You seem to have good knowledge of this subject.
I can't get too specific but it is a chemical company,they have different contracts. let's say sometimes they compete with other companies too see who can take the urea from solar panels discharge and quickly and cost effectively break that down and dispose of it safely. That is just one type of contract, I got my family member a computational chemistry software so that he can practice things at home. they are not cheap the good ones are closer to 10k but I got this student version and only paid $50
@Mr_Nobody good shit brother. Lmao! I love it.
Think you could borrow that machine for a little? Lol
I've asked them multiple times but no dice, they are by the books people. It would just depend on the situation and compound maybe if I got them a fridge full of beers they would......
Bro I said don't take that seriously, I just put that anal joke their because we are getting all anal on this subject. I thought it was a clever joke, apparently not.
Your little maths part I can't really understand, because, well, it makes no sense,
That is the formula for finding area % . Let me see if I can find it somewhere online and link it for you.
here is the link to the pdf if you're interested,

Also I will be looking at that website you linked me , once I have time.
but right afterwards you are comparing HPLC with UV detection with GC/MS.
Does that sound like the same thing to you?
I did not compare them in the way you stated, all I said was that all software for these $100,000+ machines is the same in thr sense that they all have an internal library of a list of compounds. You cannot deny that because that would just be crazy for these companies to spend millions of dollars on their equipment sometimes 25million+ , well you can rest assured that the machine is is going have a library.
The one they use is NIST
thats the library name.
I'm saying that the kid would get slapped like a bitch if the kid thought he can shittalk a real army officer. A wonderful parallel, you should take it by the heart.
Hmmm this is taking my comparison out of context but what you said isn't wrong that kid would still be doing pushups hahahaha
too end I hope you see that formula for area% does not mean purity. also here is a kool video I thought everyone might enjoy.
