Expanding Capabilities in QC Analyses with Advanced LC Detection

Quality control (QC) labs today require instruments that can accurately and reproducibly tackle a broad range of applications in a way that is reliable and compliance ready.
Join us for an interactive educational session where we explore how the expansion of liquid chromatography (LC) detection can significantly enhance the capabilities and possibilities in QC analyses. See how the addition of PDA detection in an integrated, next-generation HPLC system, elevates QC labs to achieve:
- Enhanced analytical capabilities: Discover how the use of columns with smaller particle sizes facilitates seamless method adjustment or scaling on the Alliance iS HPLC System.
- Wide application range: Suitable for a broad range of compounds due to its versatile wavelength range.
- Method migration support: Tools to support moving methods from other HPLC systems, ensuring comparable results.
- Data integrity: Provides reliable and reproducible results crucial for regulatory compliance and quality control.
Introducing the Alliance iS HPLC System
The Alliance iS HPLC system is the first-of-its-kind LC system that brings intuitive simplicity and performance to routine analyses. Initially impressing pharmaceutical QC lab teams with its integrated TUV detector, it has evolved to serve QC biopharma labs with the Alliance iS Bio HPLC System, featuring MaxPeak High Performance Surfaces (HPS) Technology.
Now, with the latest addition of the integrated PDA detector, the Alliance iS HPLC System enters a whole new arena of applications.
Next-Level UV Analysis for QC Labs
- 3D spectral data acquisition wavelength: Capable of recording multiple 2D channels and 3D spectrum.
- Versatile PDA detector: Applicable to any UV-based HPLC method with an wavelength range of 190-800 nm, allowing for the exploration and tracking of multiple peaks of interest with various lambda max.
- Peak purity analysis: Conduct peak purity analysis through Empower Chromatography Data System (CDS).
- Peak identification and confirmation: Identify or confirm peaks by individual spectrum, a key step in assay, impurity, and ID pharmaceutical methods.
Case Studies
- Scaling a method from the Alliance iS HPLC System with PDA Detector: Learn how to scale an HPLC method to 2.5 um particle column on the Alliance iS HPLC System with PDA detector, taking advantage of pressure range for shorter run times and lower solvent consumption.
- Method migration of a USP monograph to the Alliance iS HPLC System with PDA Detector: Understand impact of instrument characteristics on method migration or transfer, and how to successfully move your method from different vendor systems to the Alliance iS HPLC System with PDA Detector.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to leverage the latest advancements in LC detection to enhance your QC lab's capabilities and efficiency.
