Optimized LC methods give the results you need to satisfy customers, synthetic chemists, QC teams, and other end users. Compared to trial and error, a proper optimization process saves time and resources. And with optimization software, you can get even more efficient. In this webinar, we’ll cover the principles you need to know for method...

Method development is a journey into the unknown. The destination may be clear enough, if you’ve defined your project goals. But unforeseen challenges lurk to trip up the unwary chromatographer. Before you know it, your two-week project has become a six-week odyssey, with events like: “Where did my compound go?” “Why are my peaks lopsided?”...

Chromatographers often speak of developing methods and separating compounds—two related but not identical ideas. Besides separating analytes, a high-quality method must meet many other criteria, including robustness, linearity, and limits of detection. To specify these factors, scientists must start with defined goals. What do you need the method to tell you? And how do you...
