The Column
Although gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is not as widely used as other chromatography methods, it continues to be a useful technique for analyzing the size and solution characteristics of organic polymers. In this study, GPC was applied to analyze different polar polymers that are commonly used in drug excipients. As a result of their polarity, some specialized operating conditions were required. Optimizing the separation brought to light many of the common parameters involved in optimizing GPC separations, and those are discussed in detail here.

This article discusses how integrating seven prioritization strategies can enhance compound identification, support environmental risk assessment, and accelerate decision-making.
HPLC 2025 Preview: Functionalized Monoliths as Selective Sample Preparation Materials
May 16th 2025Analyzing trace compounds from complex samples often requires purification and pre-concentration, and online coupling of solid-phase extraction (SPE) with liquid chromatography (LC) helps minimize analysis time and solvent/sample use. Monoliths with large macropores are ideal for this coupling due to their low back pressure and versatility in various formats.
