Insights on Column Selection for LC-MS/MS Clinical Research

This webinar will provide insights on column selection for clinical research applications based on analyte properties, stationary phase characteristics, and instrumentation. Reversed phase separation mechanisms and stationary phase modifications, and how they affect retention and selectivity will be presented. How particle size and porosity affect chromatographic efficiency will be explained. Fully porous vs superficially porous HPLC and UHPLC columns and their use in clinical research will be discussed. LC column selection based on analyte and column properties will be described. Lastly, several studies will be presented to demonstrate how to select the best column.
Key Learning Points
- Explain how analyte properties affect LC column choice
- Review differences in column chemistry and its impact on separation
- Describe criteria for choosing the best LC column for clinical research applications
Who Should Attend
Researchers, scientists and analysts who want to learn more about LC column selection for LC-MS/MS Methods. Lab managers looking to start or increase use of LC-MS/MS in their laboratories. Laboratorians doing method development and implementation for clinical research.
