Kim Haynes, Principal Product Marketing Manager, Waters

Did you know that non-specific adsorption (NSA) is a common cause of poor reproducibility, broad peak shapes and limited sensitivity? Have you ever had to include long column conditioning or passivation steps in your workflow to achieve your analytical results?

In this webinar, Kim Haynes, Principal Product Marketing Manager, Waters, will discuss the common causes of analyte loss and approaches that have been used to solve them, in addition to the consequences of those choices. We will also introduce a new family of technologies and columns that were developed specifically to solve these challenges by reducing analyte/surface interactions to give chromatographers more control over their separations.

Key learning objectives:

  • Learn how non-specific binding and adsorption impacts your analytical results
  • Explore the techniques that can be used to overcome adsorption and binding losses
  • Discover new technologies in columns and surfaces to reduce analyte loss due to uncontrolled binding
  • See application examples across a wide range of analyte types

Who should attend?

  • Scientists who struggle with long column conditioning and passivation times, poor reproducibility, sensitivity and peak shapes
  • Chromatographers working with oligonucleotides, peptides, TCA cycle metabolites and other small molecules
  • Analysts looking to ensure the best performance in their chromatographic separations by protecting against risk for reactive analytes without impacting other analytes

The live webinar takes place on Tuesday, December 8, at:

  • 16:00 GMT
  • 17:00 CET
  • 8:00 PST
  • 11:00 EST

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.

It is widely used in fields like biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental analysis. By exploiting differences in the interaction of substances with a stationary phase and a mobile phase, chromatography enables precise purification and quantification of compounds. Whether you're working with complex biological samples or industrial chemicals, chromatography is essential for obtaining high-quality results.
