Develop an HPLC Method
Systematic development of a high-performance liquid chromatography method covering mode selection, column chemistry, mobile phase and gradient design, flow and temperature optimization, detector choice, and iterative refinement for non-volatile, thermally labile, or polar analytes.
When to Use
- Analyzing compounds that are non-volatile, thermally labile, or too polar for GC
- Developing a new HPLC-UV, HPLC-fluorescence, or LC-MS method from scratch
- Adapting a literature or pharmacopeial HPLC method to a different column or instrument
- Improving an existing method that suffers from poor resolution, long run times, or sensitivity issues
- Selecting the appropriate chromatographic mode (reversed-phase, HILIC, ion-exchange, SEC, chiral)
Inputs
Required
- Target analytes: Compound names, structures, molecular weights, pKa values, logP/logD
- Sample matrix: Formulation, biological fluid, environmental extract, or neat solution
- Performance targets: Required resolution, detection limits, quantitation range
