Event Overview:
HPLC mobile phase is at the heart of an HPLC method. It is used to control the retention of analytes and, if chosen or prepared incorrectly, can cause a myriad of problems such as extra peaks, unexplained retention time shifts, and system contamination. These top 20 tips for successfully designing and preparing a mobile phase will help individuals avoid many of the common pitfalls that occur while using this method.
Topics Covered:
- Correctly controlling pH using buffers
- Eluent mixing
- Filtration and degassing
- Reagent quality
- Mobile phase shelf life
- Impact of mobile phase in gradient HPLC
- System flushing
- Common mistakes to avoid

Colin Towers
Senior Technical Support Chemist
Element
After completing a degree in pharmacy, Colin Towers pursued a career in analytical chemistry. Following three years performing routine testing and three years instrument maintenance and calibration, he moved into a role as a method development and validation specialist in contract research. Gaining 11 years’ experience in developing methods for HPLC, LC-MS, GC, GC-MS and SPE in a high throughput commercial environment, this was supplemented by three years lecturing in forensic analytical toxicology and a further three years working as a community pharmacist. Towers has now been with Crawford Scientific for eight years as a technical specialist, consultant, and trainer.
Dr. Dawn Watson
CHROMacademy Product Manager

Profiling Volatile Organic Compounds in Whisky with GC×GC–MS
November 1st 2024Researchers from Austria, Greece, and Italy conducted a study to analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in Irish and Scotch whiskys using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) Arrow with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC×GC–MS) to examine the organoleptic characteristics that influence the taste of spirits.
GC–TOF-MS Finds 250 Volatile Compounds in E-Cigarette Liquids
November 1st 2024A study has used gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to build an electron ionization mass spectra database of more than 250 chemicals classified as either volatile or semi-volatile compounds. An additional, confirmatory layer of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently performed.
GC–MS Targeted Analysis of PFAS Helps Expand Knowledge of Toxicokinetic Data
November 1st 2024Limited toxicokinetic and toxicologic information is available about a diverse set of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), but methods based on gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) can help unravel some of the mystery.
Multivariate Design of Experiments for Gas Chromatographic Analysis
November 1st 2024Recent advances in green chemistry have made multivariate experimental design popular in sample preparation development. This approach helps reduce the number of measurements and data for evaluation and can be useful for method development in gas chromatography.
