Course Description

This course covers the basics of beginning any scale-up of a HPLC separation based on an existing analytical method. The needs may be a few milligrams to grams of a component depending on the stage of development. The approach also depends on the complexity of the sample - few or many components? Effects on increasing the sample size on an analytical system are discussed since this is often the first step in scaleup. The needs are then evaluated to see how to proceed with either larger columns or systems, and the cost to accomplish this. The emphasis will be on preparative HPLC using the reversed phase mode. Selected applications from the literature of scaling up a separation will be discussed.

Target Audience

The target audience for this course is anyone who has done HPLC but now needs the knowledge to begin the scaling up for collection of components for further study. This course will allow them to collect their desired components with a minimum of problems and cost.

Course Outline

• Preparative HPLC - what it is
• Comparison of analytical and preparative separations
• Effects of overloading the LC column
• Solving mass or volume overloading problems
• Scaling up the separation
