It depends what your starting sample is. HPLC requires compounds to be dissolved in solution. Any undissolved compound or precipitate can clog the system. At a minimum, filter your samples with 0.22 um filters.
it may be possible to analyze cyclohexanone in C18-HPLC without extraction by optimizing the separation conditions, such as the flow rate, mobile phase composition, and column temperature. However, the selection of the appropriate column and mobile phase is crucial for the successful separation of cyclohexanone from other compounds in the matrix.
