Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) separations are becoming more common for a variety of applications. We see HIC being a primary method being used for antibody-drug-conjugate (ADCs) analyses and equally suitable for the analysis of protein modifications. The ability to retain neutral and ionizable polar species makes HILIC particularly popular for drug development and metabolomics studies.
This webinar will help new HILIC and HIC chromatographers avoid the common mistakes of HILIC and HIC separations by identifying the important method parameters involved. We’ll discuss how the separation works, show detailed application examples, and provide tip and tricks for robust method development.
