Liquid Chromatography (LC/HPLC)

A relatively small set of columns can be used on a routine basis in different modes to meet modern analytical needs.

We focus on the characterization of reversed-phase columns with particular emphasis on the hydrophobic-subtraction model

This is John Dolan's 300th "LC Troubleshooting" column. Here, he takes a look through the archives.

John Dolan reaches a milestone with his 300th installment of "LC Troubleshooting" and takes a look back through the years.

This article aims to demonstrate a novel accelerated method development approach to develop HPLC and/or UPLC methods

This month Incognito reflects on his own laboratory's strategies for column care and shares their working practices for increasing the longevity of each column and preventing degradation.

In recent conversations at Pittcon 2010, it became clear to the author that sometimes we get too focused on the details of the method without backing up and determining how the fit into the big picture.

Michael Swartz presents his first annual review of HPLC systems and accessories at Pittcon 2010.

Part one focusses on ways of reducing and replacing solvents commonly used as mobile phases

Pat Sandra and his team will discuss how green chromatography works in practice

The separation of polar and hydrophilic compounds can be a challenge. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography has proven to be a solid alternative for such applications.

As I travelled the miles of poster boards and sat through the various lectures, it became apparent that many of us still don?t know how to choose or optimize buffers for liquid phase separations.

Incognito comes up with a collection of rules of thumb for the relationships and mathematics behind web-based translators and calculators used for deriving results.

Oxytocin acetate samples were analysed successfully for both the peptide and acetate with a single method using a mixed-mode weak-anion-exchange column.

In this month's "LC Troubleshooting," the authors look at another use of calibration standards: to monitor the quality of the data, with a goal toward helping scientists troubleshoot instrument problems.
