Program Overview

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method Development: Essentials

The High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method Development | Essentials short course focuses on improving the use of HPLC instruments in the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring that the outputs obtained have been achieved via the most efficient manner. In this short course, participants will be trained in a state-of-the-art facility with dedicated instruments, learning how to operate a HPLC and investigating the different components involved, such as selecting an appropriate column. Participants will also be provided with opportunities to study the different parameters that influence data output and subsequently develop skills in method development to produce clear and efficient chromatograms.
