This Month's Less Stress Solutions

Public Webinars
Our webinar series continues in January with our two of our "Best Practices" topics, another session of our free HILIC seminar, and a new seminar on GPC software.  Each topic lasts less than two hours, and is packed with practical advice and real-world examples.

Making HILIC Work For You (January 21, 2013, 11 AM ET) (Free!)
Hydrophilic liquid chromatography (HILIC) is a relatively new operating mode for HPLC.  It offers the ability to retain and separate polar, water-soluble compounds that are not retained on a traditional C18 column.  However, the "rules" are different for HILIC compared to reversed phase separations.  We will look at retention trends on several different HILIC phases for a variety of compound classes, and provide a summary of the trends.

Learn about this new HPLC operating mode and get some practical hints on making HILIC work in your lab.

Best Practices in HPLC (January 21, 2013, 2 PM ET)
If you are struggling with your HPLC systems, this presentation may have some answers for you.  The content is based on problems and practices that we see when we visit laboratories.  Turn your "Bad Practices" into "Best Practices" in less than two hours!
