The authors discuss zero-, first- and second-order data and describe the advantages of using second-order chromatographic data compared with the more traditional univariate or multivariate calibration. They demonstrate how its use can uncover much more information from chromatograms and spectra.

Debunking Myths and Half-Truths in HPLC and Pharmaceutical Analysis
"Perspectives in HPLC" examines 5 long-held HPLC "rules" (mobile phase filtration, routine buffer use, avoiding pH near an analyte's pKa, defaulting to 4.6-mm columns, and relying on AI for early method development), showing with experimental evidence that each is conditional rather than universally true in modern small-molecule drug testing.
