Shimadzu, one of the leading manufacturers in analytical instrumentation, and the Molnár Institute in Berlin, Germany, cooperate in applying DryLab2010 software and the new generation of Shimadzu UHPLC instruments.
Method registration and validation requires detailed results concerning stability and robustness according to a design space. The well-known and accepted DryLab* software offers unique tools for supporting method development. Based on defined experiments, the design space of the method is modeled in a 3D cube. Each side represents a combination of parameters (mobile phase composition, temperature and pH) – moving inside this cube, the associated separation is modeled and displayed. Areas with good separation are displayed to visualize the design space of this method.
The accuracy of these calculations has been proven by many users. Prediction of retention, using DryLab’s algorithms, matches very well with real results. The design space model adds real value by providing a framework for small method adaptation, which makes it easier to adapt parameters based on new columns, detection or instrumentation as long these changes are executed within the given ‘space’.
Shimadzu’s UHPLC system is controlled via a software interface to LC solution software, methods can be set in PeakMatch and data files are read directly.

LC–MS/MS-Based System Used to Profile Ceramide Reactions to Diseases
April 26th 2024Scientists from the University of Córdoba in Córdoba, Spain recently used liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) to comprehensively profile human ceramides to determine their reactions to diseases.
High-Throughput 4D TIMS Method Accelerates Lipidomics Analysis
April 25th 2024Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) had been previously proposed for untargeted lipidomics analysis, but this updated approach was reported by the authors to reduce run time to 4 min.
