HPLC systems running out of support - how can you handle?

For years HPLC is one of the golden standards in analytical chemistry. Commercially available systems have been available since the 1970s, and modern systems started in the 1990s and 2000s to dominate analytical labs e.g. in quality control or in research and development.

Today many running systems are 10 or 15 years old, sometimes even older. What are the pitfalls and risks when working on these systems and how can you use these systems at their best?

This webinar will give a short overview about the possibilities to keep an aged system running, to upgrade it or to exchange it to modern UHPLC systems.

Presenter: Dr. Jens Trafkowski (Produktspezialist HPLC, Agilent Technologies)

Jens Trafkowski ist seit 2017 Produktspezialist für HPLC bei Agilent Technologies, nachdem er zuvor mehr als 5 Jahre als globaler Produktmanager für verschiedene HPLC-Systeme und -Produkte tätig war, vor allem bekannt für seine Verantwortung für die 1290 Infinity II 2D-LC. Vor seinem Wechsel zu Agilent Technologies im Jahr 2011 war er mehr als 6 Jahre als Applikationsspezialist für LC-MS tätig.

Nach seinem Studium der Lebensmittelchemie an der Universität Bonn promovierte er am Institut für Rechtsmedizin Bonn mit einer Arbeit über Anwendungen der HPLC-MS/MS in der forensischen und klinischen Toxikologie.

Jens Trafkowski has been Product Specialist for HPLC at Agilent Technologies in Basel since 2017, having previously worked as Product Manager at the development site in Waldbronn, responsible among other things for the analytical HPLC pumps, but primarily for the 1290 Infinity II 2D-LC Solution.

Before joining Agilent Technologies in 2011, he was an application specialist for LC-MS for more than six years, responsible for training, technical support, and application development. After studying food chemistry, Jens Trafkowski focused on the analysis of drugs and pharmaceuticals in human samples and completed his PhD at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Bonn on applications of HPLC-MS/MS in forensic and clinical toxicology.
