As I’ve written previously, our Nirvana in HPLC column selection would be to enter the structures of our analytes and have a database tell us the column and mobile phase conditions that we should use to carry out the separation successfully. Although I know of several groups who are working on this, in practice we are still a long way from realizing this goal.

Our annual review of new liquid chromatography (LC) columns and accessories introduced at Pittcon and throughout the previous year.

The approach described here will help chromatographers produce highly efficient method development strategies for reversed-phase LC separations in a relatively short time frame.

We will discover how to find the “sweet spot” in terms of retention for a liquid chromatographic separation as well as how much retention change can be expected for a selected change in organic mobile-phase percentage or column temperature.
