5 Rules for Successfully Developing and Scaling Up Your LC Purification
Chemists have been diligent in their pursuit to uncover best practices for achieving more reliable scale up from analysis to preparative liquid chromatography (or PREP LC). PREP LC is the primary technique used to isolate target compound(s) from complex reaction mixtures in support of molecular synthesis. Predictably scaling an LC separation to produce highly pure molecular targets is not trivial and the risk of sample loss is real.
Because chemists spend days and weeks creating their precious new molecular targets, leaving success to chance in scaling an LC separation is ill-advised. Method conditions need to be maintained and care taken to achieve direct scale-up in prep separations. By following just 5 simple rules for LC scale up, the chemist can likely avoid surprising outcomes such as inadequate compound purity (requiring rework) and target recovery. A review of scale-up rules as well as practical guidance for first-time purification success will be the focus of this webinar.
**Key Learning Objectives: **
- Learn to scale your analytical – prep methods predictably.
- Gain knowledge from practical guidance shared for first-time purification success when scaling your LC separation.
- Discover how following the rules of scaling PREP LC simplifies the process
- Learn how to better control LC scale-up outcomes and boost both target purity and recovery.
