Once comfortable with basic methods, leverage advanced programming to solve tough separations.
The authors of this study developed a specific elution program using a and a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min . The mobile phase consists of Buffer A and Buffer B (acetonitrile). Time (min) Mobile Phase Composition 0–40 100% Buffer A Elute steroids from more polar to less polar 40–50 Linear gradient to 50% Buffer B Gradually change buffer concentration 50–55 50% Buffer B Elute the most non-polar steroids 55–60 Linear gradient to 100% Buffer B Purge the column of residual residues 60–65 Reverse linear gradient to 100% Buffer A Return to original buffer concentration 65–75 100% Buffer A Clean and re-prime the system for the next sample Key Application Details hplc program
When you sit down at the workstation (whether using Empower, ChemStation, or LabSolutions), your program will require several critical parameters: Isocratic vs. Gradient Elution Time (min) Mobile Phase Composition 0–40 100% Buffer
At dawn, the lab door opened.
