Part 2: From Crude to Candidate: Scaling Preparative Chromatography with Confidence

This presentation outlines an end-to-end preparative chromatography workflow, from crude sample to purified candidate, highlighting a portfolio overview and the advantages of delay calibration for improved method transfer. We demonstrate effective strategies for method development, target identification, fraction collection, and purification. Scale up approaches using the preparative calculator will be discussed, as well as practical tips and tricks for efficient transfer from analytical to preparative separations.
