Course Description
| This course will introduce you to best practices of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra-high-pressure LC (UHPLC) as well as tricks-of-the-trade for successful HPLC operation. The attendees will learn step-by-step guide to operating HPLC modules, maintenance procedures, troubleshooting strategies, traditional and accelerated method development processes as well as recent advances of this pervasive analytical technique including a focused section on ultra-high-pressure LC. This is the second part of a two-course series to modern HPLC introduction. “Essentials of Modern HPLC/UHPLC 1” introduces HPLC fundamental concepts, columns, instrumentations and applications, is a recommended prerequisite for “Essentials of Modern HPLC/UHPLC 2”. |

Target Audience
| Analysts, scientists, researchers and managers who want to get an updated introduction of modern HPLC practices, instrument operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, method development as well as the practice and issues of UHPLC. Topics covered included operating guide, common maintenance procedures, troubleshooting strategies, HPLC method development processes and ultra-high-pressure LC (UHPLC). The focus is to provide the attendees with a concise overview on the practice of HPLC, helping them to become more successful and effective in HPLC operation, sample analysis, method development and problem diagnosis. A good understanding of general chemistry is recommended. Some prior hands-on HPLC experience would be helpful. “Essentials of Modern HPLC/UHPLC 1” is a prerequisite to “Essentials of Modern HPLC/UHPLC2” for newer users. This course is conducted at an intermediate level. |

Course Outline
5. HPLC operation, maintenance and troubleshooting
· Mobile phase preparation
· Best practice in HPLC operation and avoiding common “faux pas”
· Guidelines for increasing HPLC precision and for trace analysis
· Seven common “faux pas” in modern HPLC
· Common HPLC maintenance procedures
· Problem diagnosis and troubleshooting guide with case studies
· Diagnosing and solving problems (pressure, baseline, peak, data performance)
6. HPLC method development and validation
· Tradition strategy for method development
· 3-pronged template approach for efficient method development
· Method prequalification and validation
· Modern trends – software tools and automated systems
· Case studies on developing ICH impurity testing of pharmaceuticals including some discussions on phase-appropriate method development and QbD concepts
7. Ultra-high-pressure LC 1 – concepts, perspectives, and benefits
• History and current status of UHPLC
• Practical concepts and instrumental considerations
• Benefits: very fast separation with good resolution, very high resolution of
complex samples, facilitating rapid method development
• Case studies (NCE, OTC, complex molecules and natural products)
8. Ultra-high-pressure LC 2 – practice, potential issues and QC implementation
• Potential issues and operating nuances (viscous heating, system dispersion, compatibility to existing methods, injection precision and carryover, detector sensitivity and dwell volumes, and method transfer issues)
• Case studies illustrating issues and myths, and how to mitigate potential pitfalls
• How to get started and to transition from HPLC to UHPLC |
