Column insertion distance is critical to good chromatography. What happens if the column is installed too low in the injection port? Is insertion distance more important when performing split injection or splitless injection? Does the position of the column in the injection port impact reproducibility?

In this article, we review some key considerations for chromatographic technique selection and method development across the full drug process.

In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.

This application note describes the simultaneous extraction of aldosterone at low (< 25pg/mL) concentration and angiotensin I and II from plasma, with the potential to improve throughput and reduce time and costs in PRA determination.

App Note: This application notes demonstrates an automated Supported Liquid Extraction workflow in the analysis of Zolmitriptan, a selective serotonin receptor agonist, in plasma.
