Upcoming Session
HPLC Method Development: Practical Approaches for Identifying Equivalent and Orthogonal Columns
Tuesday, 9 July
10:00 (BST) | 11:00 (CEST)
  • Recognize columns exhibiting comparable selectivity to your current column selection
  • Identify columns with different or orthogonal selectivity to your current column of choice
  • Understand the resources that are available for selectivity data for HPLC columns
Previous Sessions
A Guide to Building Your LC Method Development Kit Plus Tips on Storage & Care
  • Learn how to choose different column phases for developing a LC method
  • Understand what kind of LC columns can be a strong method development kit
  • Identify how to take care of your LC column to extend its lifetime
Measuring Peak Separation Quality
  • Discover the methodologies for calculating resolution, asymmetry, selectivity, and efficiency
  • Learn how to quantify the quality of a separation, along with a reference of what each value could and should be
  • Understand the physicochemical underpinnings of chromatographic separations
HPLC Mobile Phases and Gradients
  • Explore the impact of mobile phase selectivity on chromatographic resolution.
  • Take a deep dive into typical mobile phase compositions; pH, buffers, organic solvents and other additives
  • Understand the significance of pH, and how to effectively design gradients
HPLC Troubleshooting
  • Learn how to prevent and minimize your LC problems before they occur
  • Understand how to approach problem solving and troubleshooting in a logical way, including: diagnose cause and possible solutions
  • Review peak shape, and column performance problems
