Kevin also develops and delivers technical training, webinars, and customer seminars globally. He holds an M.S. in Biochemistry and a B.S. in Biomedical Science.
- Learn how analyte chemistry and stationary-phase interactions affect LC selectivity.
- Select a practical starting column and a complementary method-development column set for small-molecule DMPK or TDM applications.
- Plan an efficient column-screening workflow using orthogonal selectivities rather than relying on a single C18 phase.
- Evaluate candidate conditions using retention, resolution, peak shape, matrix separation, and LC-MS compatibility.
- Apply column-selection decisions to improve method reproducibility and robustness.
- LC and LC-MS scientists, bioanalytical researchers, and laboratory professionals working with small-molecule DMPK or bio-sample Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) applications who want practical guidance on column selection and method development to build more reproducible, robust, and reliable methods.
