New Chromatography Columns and Accessories at the 2004 Pittcon Conference, Part I

This collection of technical articles, interviews, and news pieces delves into the latest innovations in LC methods, including advance in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS), and multidimensional LC.

Here is some of the most popular content posted on LCGC International this week.

In this article, we review some key considerations for chromatographic technique selection and method development across the full drug process—from early-stage active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis to routine commercial release activities.

LCGC International spoke to Silvia Valverde and Ana María Ares of this group about their research and the resulting article.

Separation scientists frequently encounter critical pairs that are difficult to separate in a complex mixture. To save time and expensive solvents, an effective alternative to conventional screening protocols or mathematical peak width reduction is called iterative curve fitting.

In this installment of "LC Troubleshooting," Dwight Stoll discusses several essential principles related to when and why buffers are important, as well as practical factors, such as commonly used buffering agents, that are recommended for use with different types of detectors.
