Advancing chromatography: Column performance and method modernisation for modern workflows

Thermo Scientific Hypersil columns have long played a pivotal role in advancing chromatographic science and supporting laboratories worldwide in achieving reliable analytical results. This webinar highlights how column technology has evolved to support the growing demands of modern analytical laboratories, with a focus on chromatographic performance, consistency, and reproducibility.  

Attendees will gain valuable insights into the technologies behind reliable chromatographic separations, including particle and stationary-phase technology. The session will explore how these factors contribute to consistent performance and batch-to-batch reproducibility in analytical workflows.

The webinar will also examine the role of established Hypersil stationary phases in pharmaceutical and pharmacopeial methods, supported by practical application examples. Attendees will see how established HPLC methods can be modernised to improve laboratory productivity, increase throughput, and reduce solvent consumption while maintaining separation quality. Whether you work in pharmaceutical R&D, quality control, or analytical method development, this webinar will provide practical insights into achieving reliable, reproducible chromatographic performance and supporting modern analytical workflows.
