Leading Roles at ISSS 2025 Symposium in Messina, Italy
The MOLNÁR-INSTITUTE for Applied Chromatography was a prominent presenter at the 28th International Symposium on Separation Sciences (ISSS), hosted in Sept. 2024 in Messina, Sicily, Italy.
The MOLNÁR-INSTITUTE was both: a Gold Sponsor of the meeting and a leading contributor to the conference program.
During the late afternoon of Day 1, MOLNÁR-INSTITUTE President Dr. Imre Molnár concluded in the Csaba Horváth Memorial Session by paying tribute to the great Hungarian Scientist as the Father of the theory of Reversed Phase Chromatography (RPC), enabling an unprecedented revolution in life sciences.
The precise modeling Software DryLab contributes strongly to the "Green-HPLC-Movement", as a model chromatogram is produced in only one second, in opposite to a chromatogram in the lab of ca. 30 min. DryLab reduces also experiments by Trial&Error by an enormous degree, saving not only time, but also large amounts of organic wastes.

100th Citation of Our Study of Using Design Spaces in HPLC
Our scientific study «Aspects of the ‘Design Space’ in HPLC-method development» by H.J. Rieger, I. Molnár and K. Monks, published in Journal of Chromatography A 1217 (2010) 193-200, was cited more than 100 times.
The publication describes a multifactorial optimization of four critical HPLC method parameters: gradient time (tG), temperature (T), pH and ternary composition (B1:B2). The approach, implemented in DryLab®, enable scientists to effectively separate more than 14 peaks with a run time of under 20 min while demonstrating robustness to critical parameters. The methodology aligned with Quality by Design (QbD) principles and established a Design Space, identified multiple robust working conditions of HPLC methods. Further benefits of DryLab Design Space Modeling were shown in the efficiency it brought to routine method development and the compliance with regulatory demands.

Strategic collaboration with CycloLab Ltd. opens up new possibilities of reversed-phase modeling
The scientific study illustrates, why a systematic modeling approach to contextualize data and optimize critical method parameters is essential for better understanding the complex nature and chromatographic behavior of regioisomers of Di-OH-SGM. This approach was used to develop a simple and cost-effective RP-HPLC application for separating regioisomers, which is required for the qualification of the synthesized Di-OH-SGM material. The results of this work can be applied in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and materials science.

MOLNÁR-INSTITUTE to present LC Design Space applications at EAS 2022
Design Space (DS) analysis is key to rationalizing method and DryLab4 is one of the few tools in the world that by its design concept, will fully comply with ICH Q14 requirements. Being able to illuminate a total DS, that comprises of more than a million modelled workpoints or method-parameter combinations, DryLab has repeatedly proven it's potential to revolutionize pharmaceutical quality control and research.
Live demonstrations of DryLab4 focus on the ability of its newly added interface with the Waters Empower™ platform to develop on-point HPLC methods faster, than ever before, by speeding up HPLC Design Space (DS) Modeling and using 3D-visualization to gain deeper understanding of HPLC separations, allowing more robust methods and faster HPLC analyses.
