When Widener University switched to online teaching, Chemistry Professor Scott van Bramer turned to online tools as a way to continue educating his students. ACD/Method Selection Suite provided the answer to help his students run virtual experiments, and exposed them to the type of software they will see in their eventual workplaces.

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...

There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to get everything done. There are ways to gain time and be able to do more but they can be difficult to identify because until we’re exposed to them we carry on as we always have. If you are still doing any of the things discussed here, then there are ways you can gain hours in your day and even do your job better than you are right now!

This article describes a simple approach for the development and implementation of an efficient ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) assay that is extensively applied to the separation and analysis of multicomponent reaction mixtures of closely related pharmaceutical intermediates and impurities. ACD/LC Simulator was used in conjunction with multi-column and multi-solvent UHPLC screening to optimize methods.
