Do an internet search of HPLC methods for Glycerol (HILIC probably). But you will have to use a 'refractive index detector (RID)' for high % concentrations or isocratic methods. Alternatively you will have to use an 'ELSD or evaporative light scattering detector' for low ppb concentrations or gradient methods. Pure glycerol does not have a 'very good' UV spectrum.
