Successful chromatographic separations are as much about preventing the interactions you don’t want, as it is creating the interactions you need. This course is designed to take you from beginner to advanced in controlling the interactions within your chromatographic separations. It will cover how to improve method robustness through the prevention of analyte loss, with improved confidence in the quality of your data.
The full course includes six tutorials, including:
- Introduction to non-specific binding and non-specific adsorption
- Common approaches and newer innovations to prevent non-specific adsorption
- Improving reproducibility and reducing column conditioning through control of non-specific adsorption
- Improving sensitivity and peak shape through control of non-specific adsorption
- Column selection in a world with non-specific adsorption
- Simplified method development with risk mitigation against non-specific adsorption
Once you complete all the tutorials in this module, including answering all the quiz questions correctly, you will receive a certificate of completion. Now that you’ve learned about controlling unwanted interactions, be sure to check out our other module “Understanding LC Column Attributes: What’s Important for Your Chromatography” to learn about how particles and ligands can maximize separations.
