HPLC

Can anything be done to correct for baseline drift in gradient separations?

The fundamental concepts of HPLC are re-examined.

Gradient methods can offer unique solutions to separations problems, but transferring a gradient method from the literature, between laboratories, or even within the same laboratory can be a challenging process.

This article will explore what is meant by "complete data" in the context of a chromatography data system and, with an analysis of FDA 483 citations, explore the problems when a laboratory fails to understand this phrase.

How can the gradient dwell volume impact results?

Recombinant monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are a growing class of therapeutic molecules. Early in the development of MAbs, a large number of harvest cell culture (HCC) samples must be screened for immunoglobulin G (IgG) titer, aggregations, and charge variants. This study describes a two-dimensional (2D) high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) workflow for afinity, size-exclusion, and ion-exchange analysis.

Many different column characterization probes and databases exist. The art of using in-silico column selection lies in knowing what the probes tell us about the column characteristics.

Some "rules of thumb" can be applied to selecting stationary-phase type and column dimensions.

Part I of Ron Major's report on new products introduced at Pittson. This month, columns are highlighted, covering all modes of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC), and liquid-phase separations.

A novel method for analysing mercury in sediment is described.

Sometimes when changes are made to gradient conditions, the result isn't what was expected.

Fabrice Gritti of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, Tennessee, USA) discusses results from his and Georges Guiochon's research on the kinetic mechanisms of chromatography columns packed with core-shell particles.

Ion chromatography (IC) is an important analysis tool for chromatographers. Typically, emphasis is placed on the hardware components and chemistry to achieve the ideal level of separation. However, the flow path itself is often overlooked, and there are some relatively simple steps that can be taken to ensure that the system's flow path positively affects the overall chromatographic results achieved.

From the invention of eluent suppression to today's "just add water" concept, pivotal developments over the last 40 years are chronologically highlighted from a chemical and instrumental viewpoint.

The parameters that should be considered in the optimization of HPLC methods are explained and then illustrated through the analysis of two commercial agricultural products.

When choosing the articles to include in this supplement, my selection was based on a very simple criterion. My invitations went to the researchers that typically have something to say that I am interested in learning.

This article discusses useful approaches for the resolution of overlapping and superimposed peaks in HPLC.

A summary of new HPLC systems, modules, and software, focusing on innovations and unique features from a user's perspective.

Is it possible to get the same separation under isocratic and gradient conditions?

The first instalment of the Perspectives in Modern HPLC column highlights some of the new HPLC systems, accessories and related technology introduced at Pittcon this year.

A number of retention time issues can cause problems in HPLC. Here's advice on how to handle common ones, such as retention time drift, temperature variability, problems arising from column equilibration, and difficulties validating a method.

A novel, simple, rapid and effective method to determine pesticide residues in red wine samples is described.

Incognito found a 2D LC solution to a tricky separation problem but this technique did not meet the client's requirements. The magnanimous columnist admits to a rare defeat on this occasion but praises the thrill of seeking a solution to a perplexing method development problem. Could any readers suggest a more straightforward solution?
