Critical Evaluation of HPLC Methods
There are numerous factors that affect the quality of your HPLC separation; including mobile phase composition, temperature, ionic strength, pH, column dimensions, and stationary characteristics. However, what changes should we expect when these parameters are altered? Will retention improve if another solvent is used and would we expect selectivity to change? Will analytes elute in the same order if the mobile phase pH, ionic strength, additives or temperature are changed? In this Essential Guide we will evaluate the critical aspects of the HPLC process giving you a useful practical guide for optimizing HPLC variables which will result in improved and more robust chromatography.
