“A” is for Analytical to Preparative Chromatography

Please join us for this webinar where we will present an introduction to Agilent’s InfinityLab Purification Solutions with an introduction to Preparative Chromatography discussed from an analytical HPLC to Preparative HPLC perspective.

We will discuss the theory of preparative chromatography, the components of a typical preparative HPLC system and discuss some strategies for scale up from analytical methods. We will present some of the common challenges facing Prep Chromatographers as they apply the theory of scale up to practical laboratory applications.

Our case study will focus on an analytical setup of a preparative HPLC system. We look forward to sharing an introduction into the basic principles of preparative liquid chromatography while providing some practical solutions for today’s chemists. Collect each and every drop!

Presenter: Regina Black (LC Applications Scientist, Agilent Technologies, Inc.)

Gina joined Agilent over 2 years ago and brought with her a wealth of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. She began her career at Merck as a synthetic chemist and became a subject matter expert in preparative HPLC, eventually joining the Separations COE, supporting both discovery and process development efforts. After twenty-two years at Merck, Gina moved to Bristol-Myers Squibb where she served as a site lead for their Single Compound Purification group, using a highly automated workflow to analyze, purify and deliver final products for biological testing. Gina then moved back into large scale separations and enabling technologies supporting Chemical Development at BMS. Over the years, Gina has developed an extensive background in both reverse phase and normal phase HPLC, SFC and IEX methodology.
