Petr Chocholouš is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Charles University. His career started in 2002 with the introduction of Sequential Injection Chromatography, which combines a separation column with Sequential Injection Analysis for multi-component analysis similar to HPLC. Since then, he has developed flow manifolds for both sample treatment and analysis, studied mechanisms of liquid chromatography, characterized new SPE sorbents, automated online SPE, and hyphenated it with HPLC and 2D HPLC. His work typically focuses on pharmaceutical analysis, bioanalysis, and oceanography.
