Getting Off to a Good Start: The Makings of a Reliable Method
When the robustness of an HPLC method has not been tested, it often results in the inability of others to reproduce it.
If your method will be used by others, it’s important to know it will perform as expected when it’s out of your hands.
In this presentation, we’ll look at several key factors and conditions to assess their potential effect on a method. Things like column choice and lot, mobile phase factors, including pH, and the instrument you’re using all play an important role when you’re developing a method that will stand the test of time. Avoid frustration in the future by paying attention to these key factors in the present.
