In HPLC, a mobile phase is a liquid or gas that carries the sample through the column. The mobile phase for squalene in HPLC is typically a mixture of hexane and isopropanol. The ratio of hexane to isopropanol can be varied depending on the desired separation. A more polar mobile phase will result in a better separation of squalene from other compounds in the sample.
