HPLC separates compounds based on their interactions with a nonpolar stationary phase and a polar mobile phase. Reverse phase HPLC uses a nonpolar stationary phase like C18 and a mobile phase that is a water-organic solvent mixture. Compounds are separated based on their relative nonpolarity, with nonpolar compounds retained longest by the stationary phase.

Reverse Phase HPLC: The stationary phase is nonpolar (hydrophobic) in nature, while the mobile phase is a polar liquid, such as mixtures of water and methanol or acetonitrile. It works on the principle of hydrophobic interactions hence the more nonpolar the material is, the longer it will be retained.
