Troubleshooting Your HPLC Chromatogram - Selectivity, Resolution, and Baseline Issues
Course Details
Premier
This session examines the common causes of changes in selectivity, loss of chromatographic resolution, and baseline issues – such as splitting, fronting, tailing, and shouldering. Strategies for problem identification and calculation of critical chromatography performance indicators will also be discussed.
Topics include:
- Common causes of problems within your chromatography
- Logical strategies for rapid instrument and separation troubleshooting
- Exploring common problems with:
-
- Mobile phase composition
- Temperature and pH
- Column modification and age
- Sample solvent strength
- Sample preparation
- System operating parameters
-
- Understanding issues with existing problematic methods
- Instigating preventative steps in order to minimize problems in future methods
- Learning how to quickly and accurately identify the common causes of:
-
- Changes in selectivity
- Loss of chromatographic resolution
- Baseline issues
-
- Understanding when and how to employ the correct calculations in order to identify/quantify chromatographic issues
- How these parameters can be affected by:
-
- Mobile phase composition
- Temperature and pH
- Column modification and age
- Sample solvent strength
- Sample preparation
- System operation
-
