Event Overview
This course is designed to introduce those familiar with analytical-scale HPLC to capillary (or “nano”) liquid chromatography. Although both techniques are based on the same fundamental principles, capillary LC delivers a number of distinct advantages with appropriate use. Commercial instrument options, as well as the basics of preparing your own capillary LC columns, are described. Because one of the most prominent uses of capillary LC is its coupling to mass spectrometry for complex biological sample analysis, special attention is given to this important area. Both academic and industrial researchers will be able to apply the information gained through this course to successfully use this essential technique.
After completing this course, viewers will be able to:
- Understand the differences between analytical and capillary scale LC
- Describe the fundamentals of capillary LC column preparation
- Determine the best detection modes for a given application
- Explain the advantages of coupling capillary LC with mass spectrometry and how to approach method development using capillary LC-MS
- Identify best practices for the use of capillary LC to solve analytical challenges
Who Should View?
Scientists, chemists, analytical researchers, lab directors and managers, VPs and directors of QC/QA, lab owners
