The 20th International Symposium on Electro- and Liquid-Phase Separation Techniques (ITP2013) will take place at the Hotel Beatriz Atlantis & Spa, Tenerife, Spain from 6?9 October 2013.

The authors explain modern UHPLC instrument design and outline simple procedures to identify causes of poor column and method performance.

The removal of azide as a potential impurity from a drug substance may be critical to its safety profile. The quantitation of thi impurity is an important control parameter. This article describes a simple and practical assay for azide using chemical derivatization and HPLC.

Part I of our yearly report, covering columns for all modes of HPLC, UHPLC, and liquid-phase separations.
