LC Chiral Theory and Method Development

Event Overview:
Principle of Chirality
Chiral Stationary Phases (CSP)
Polysaccharide CSPs and their Chiral Retention Mechanisms
Chiral Method Development: Separation Modes and Screening Protocol
SFC Chiral Method Development
Chiral Method Optimization: Case Study
Who Should Attend:
Any LC users who would like to understand how chiral separations work and how to apply the principles of chiral theory in developing an analytical method for separation of enantiomers.
Any analyst who wishes to learn the basics of chiral theory.
Any academic or pharmaceutical scientists who need to develop a method for separation and characterization of chiral compounds.
Key Learning Points:
Learn what chiral compounds are and how they are separated using LC and what a chiral stationary phase (CSP) is and the different types there are
Understand the three critical components of Polysaccharide CSPs and review the difference between coated and immobilized CSPs and how they are applied in different analytical contexts
Learn how to approach a chiral screen using different separation modes.
