Event Overview
Liquid chromatography (LC) is one of the most widely used analytical techniques in the world. With recent initiatives for greener and more sustainable science, the large amounts of hazardous solvent waste generated by analytical scale LC instrumentation have been a topic of interest. By reducing the inner diameter (ID) of the fluidic pathway to the capillary scale (<0.5 mm), separations comparable to their analytical scale counterparts can be performed using several orders of magnitude less solvent (mL down to µL).
This presentation will focus on advances in the instrumentation used in the field of capillary LC. Additionally, practical applications of capillary LC will be discussed, including pharmaceutical and illicit drug analysis, food/beverage analysis, and automated reaction monitoring. Large molecule separations will also be featured, including various CQA validations of monoclonal antibodies.
By attending this presentation, you will:
- Gain insights into the latest advancements in capillary LC
- Understand the environmental benefits of capillary LC and how it can contribute to greener and more sustainable analytical practices
- Discover practical applications of capillary LC
- Explore how capillary LC is used for large molecule separations
