Molnár-Institute exhibits at HPLC 2019 in Milan, Italy

Molnár-Institute will be exhibiting at the 2019 International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations, held from June 16-20 in Milan, Italy. The 48th HPLC Symposium is a five-day event opening June 16 at the University of Milano-Bicocca in Milan, Italy.

There, we will contribute to the scientific program with an oral lecture about lifecycle-oriented method development and a vendor seminar with the topic " Automated UHPLC method modeling: A step towards innovative chromatographic data generation and analysis".

The lecture will show how a lifecycle oriented, analytical method development approach models the in-routine variation of parameters caused by varying instrument measurement accuracy, performing robustness modeling at the earliest possible stage - method development - in accordance to recent regulatory guidelines. The practical advantages of applying the lifecycle approach to analytical method development will be demonstrated using case studies.

Furthermore, the seminar will feature that an automation is possible through the seamless integration of DryLab®4 software to Waters Empower chromatographic data system on multiple levels: batch creation and acquisition of inputs required for a 3D Design Space, model and setpoint verifications and experimental confirmation of the model's robustness. Powerful 3D-perspectives on design space that visualize interdependencies of flowrate and gradient properties can yield extended gradient time-temperature models for practical definition of robust methods and transparent regulatory filings.

At booth 41, the scientists of Molnár-Institute will provide you with a live demonstration of DryLab®4 UHPLC modeling software that designs efficiency and success in any high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method through the most advanced approach.

Stop by and "Do It Right First Time - Every Time".

100th Citation of Our Study of Using Design Spaces in HPLC

Our scientific study «Aspects of the ‘Design Space’ in high pressure liquid chromatography method development» by H.J. Rieger, I. Molnár and K. Monks, which was 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®2010, enabled the scientists to effectively separate 14 peaks with a run time of under 20 minutes while demonstrating robustness to critical parameters. The methodology aligned with Quality by Design (QbD) principles and established a Design Space identifying multiple robust working conditions of HPLC methods. Further benefits of DryLab Design Space Modeling lied in the efficiency it brought to routine method development and the compliance it had with regulatory demands.
