Speeding up method development - How Cyprotex have solved the analytical challenge of non-specific binding
An ongoing challenge when dealing with chromatographic separation is the presence of compounds that exhibit non-specific binding. Such compounds can exhibit poor peak shape, carryover, low sensitivity and cause an increase in back pressure and system clogging.
In high-throughput screening of compounds in drug discovery, non-specific binding can result in poor assay sensitivity and reproducibility, prolonged data analysis and complicated method development.
In this webinar, Fiona Liddicoat and Jack Corrigan from Cyprotex, a leading ADME-Tox service provider, demonstrate how ACQUITY Premier column and system using MaxPeak High Performance Surfaces (HPS) technology can address the challenge of non-specific binding for small molecules and peptides. The benefits of this new technology include increased sensitivity, improved peak shape and reduced carryover.
This webinar focuses on:
- The application of MaxPeak HPS technology for enhanced chromatographic performance of pharmaceutical compounds in UPLC-MS
- The comparison of chromatographic performances of traditional stainless steel UPLC technology and the ACQUITY Premier solution
Key learnings:
Learn how new chromatographic technology:
- significantly reduces method development turnaround
- allows rapid diagnosis of non-specific binding
- eliminates passivation requirement
- applies to ADME screening
Discover the benefit of ACQUITY Premier column and system in:
- eliminating non-specific binding
- improving peak shape
- increasing sensitivity
- reducing carryover
Increase your knowledge in pharmaceutical compounds screening with UPLC-MS
