In today's drug development and manufacturing operations, one of the key analysis steps is the measurement of the amount and type of ion or counter ion present in a particular drug formulation
ESA Biosciences has announced an archived version of its most recent webinar entitled: 'Is ion analysis bringing You down?' to enable chromatographers to gain insight into efficient and cost-effective strategies of ion analysis through HPLC methodologies.
The webinar, which addresses the concerns that many chromatographers face with ion analysis, includes presentations and a Q+A session featuring ESA scientist Ian Acworth and industry experts from Synomics Pharmaceutical Services and Johnson and Johnson Pharmaceutical.
Currently, the analytical technique most commonly used to analyse ions is ion chromatography (IC).
However, to perform these ion measurements with IC requires a specialist, expensive and dedicated single-use system.
In addition, IC cannot readily measure anions and cations simultaneously.
In addition to hearing a first-hand account from a solutions-oriented case study covering real-world samples, Webinar participants will have access to free downloads of all presentations.
They can learn about the success and accuracy of a method combining an HPLC charged aerosol detector (Cad) with hydrophilic interaction chromatography (Hilic) to simplify the analysis of ions.
Hilic separates both anions and cations from rather complex samples, while the detector simultaneously identifies these ions.
