Mobile Phase Optimization Strategies for Reversed Phase HPLC

This webcast will look at strategies for optimizing mobile phase composition in order to achieve the required resolution in the minimum amount of time. This is, of course, the primary goal of everyone undertaking method development. The chemistry of the aqueous and organic portions of the mobile phase will be studied, and we will discuss how to use these components to affect retention and improve the selectivity and resolution within our separations.

HPLC - Controlling Ionization
Quick Guide

HPLC - Controlling Ionization

In reversed phase HPLC ionizable analytes present their own particular separation challenges and opportunities. When working with ionizable analytes, it is important to consider the pH of the mobile phase to optimize separation, that is to alter and optimize retention, selectivity, and efficiency. This short video will consider how analyte ionization state can be manipulated to achieve the required chromatographic separation, and which method parameters are used to do this.
