Breaking Bad … Gradient Habits LC gradients are very useful for achieving efficient separations of complex samples. With the development of better gradient capable instruments the use of gradient methods is rapidly increasing. Unfortunately, developing and using successful gradients is more of a challenge than simple isocratic methods. Many of the LC practices and habits we learn over time can cause problems in gradient separations. These LC sessions contain information on developing reliable gradient methods and good habits to employ for long term gradient method reliability

Gradient Design and Development – Breaking the Bad Gradient Cycle In this session we will define gradient separations and review equations that define the gradient process. From there we will move to a discussion on determining when a gradient is more appropriate than isocratic and using a simple experimental process for that determination. The next step is to present a logical process for creating a gradient method. Since many gradient methods are longer than needed we will also explore techniques for shortening existing methods.

Good Habits for Successful Gradient SeparationsDeveloping good gradient habits is the key to long term success. In this session we will start by discussing what it takes to maximize gradient efficiency by balancing gradient speed with adequate resolution needs. Since even the best gradient can be compromised we are going to look at optimizing LC system performance by minimizing un-needed physical volume, making full use of system functions for maximum efficiency, and understanding the gradient delay volume effect on performance. Last but not least, we will demonstrate successfully transferring gradients from one instrument to another.

Clean up your act…with QuEChERS and SPEMany chromatography problems can be traced to inefficient sample clean up.  Learn how to develop QuEChERS and Solid Phase Extraction methods for a variety of compounds and matrices following a systematic, time-saving approach.

Advanced GC Troubleshooting – Part 1 The Biggest Part of the Problem The main problem that we deal with in Gas Chromatography is that there are more things that don’t want to flow through a GC than do. That means that 99% of all problems experienced in GC are sample introduction or inlet related. How effectively and efficiently our sample is introduced into the GC and our GC column can cause drastic differences with respect to our resolution. In this first talk, we will discuss the variables we deal with in our inlet such as flow and temperature, as well as the contamination issues we encounter and how we can troubleshoot what might be causing us problems.

Advanced GC Troubleshooting – Part 2, The Other 1% of the Story Although the majority of our problems lie in the inlet, we need to look at the entire flow path, column and detector for all other issues. The second talk will focus more downstream of our inlet after sample introduction. We will also discuss tools and tips to help us determine where our problems are and how to solve them. Finally, we will look at common maintenance items that need to be routinely done. After all, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
