The Chromatography Detective: Troubleshooting Tips & Tools for LC and LC/MS
What do you do when your chromatography suddenly changes or you’re not able to reproduce a method from, e.g. a pharmacopeia?
Isolating the source of the problem often requires investigation. This seminar looks at tips and tools to help you figure out what’s going on.
We will:
Discuss common chromatography problems like changes in pressure, peak shape, and retention
Look at how to identify the cause and whether it’s chemistry or hardware related
We will help you build a CSI (Chromatography Systems Investigation) kit full of tips plus parts that can help you troubleshoot and/or solve problems.
