Best Practices for UHPLC & UHPLC MS
About this event
The introduction of commercially available UHPLC systems in 2004 and the rapid adoption of its methodology and instrumentation fundamentally altered the landscape of the separations laboratory. While the rules that govern the practice of UHPLC are no different than those that govern HPLC, a much stricter adherence to those rules is necessary. In addition, the proliferation of mass spectrometers as LC detectors has required analysts to think carefully when transferring optical detector-based methods to LCMS platforms. This presentation will review best practices for UHPLC and UHPLC MS. Specific topics of discussion will include tubing & connections, sample diluents, solvent purity, glassware cleanliness, contaminant ions as well as other tips & tricks to make a day in the lab less stressful.
Please join CCDG in our third dinner lecture for the 2019-2020 year!
Starting now, CCDG will be offering a reduced rate for membership dinner lecture tickets at $15. Nonmember tickets will remain $30.
