When your HPLC method goes wrong, know where to look next.
A blank shows a peak. Pressure suddenly rises. Your peaks start tailing. Two compounds co-elute. Retention time drifts. Your gradient behaves differently than expected.
What do you check first?
The HPLC Survival Guide: The Lab Detective's Handbook is a practical field manual for diagnosing and troubleshooting real-world reversed-phase HPLC problems in pharmaceutical QC and method development. Instead of academic theory alone, it uses a problem-first, diagnostic approach: recognise the symptom, investigate the likely causes, and decide the right next action.
14 field missions, including:
- Ghost peaks, baseline noise and backpressure
- Peak shape problems, stationary-phase selection and mobile-phase control
- First-run method development and retention-time drift
- Resolution, co-elution and gradient problems
- UV/DAD detection, calibration and system suitability
- Peak integration, sample and injection effects
- Method transfer and robustness
Plus practical reference material, troubleshooting tools and checklists for interpreting chromatographic behaviour.
Who it's for: QC analysts, method development scientists, lab technicians and supervisors - anyone who needs to move from What happened? to What should I check next?
Stop guessing. Start diagnosing.
Part of the Practical Pharma Science(TM) series - applied knowledge for pharma professionals.
