Advancing Bioseparations: A Deep Dive into HPLC Detection Technologies

This technical webinar provides a comprehensive overview of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detection technologies commonly utilized in bioseparations. It will detail the operational principles, analytical capabilities, and performance characteristics of UV detection systems, including tunable UV (TUV) and photodiode array (PDA) detectors.
The session will further explore complementary detection modalities such as fluorescence (FLR), evaporative light scattering (ELS), and single quadrupole (SQ) mass detection. Each detection technique will be examined, highlighting its working mechanism, strengths, limitations, and suitability for specific analytical tasks.
Application examples will demonstrate how each detector supports specific analytical workflows, enabling informed decisions for method development and routine analysis.
