Ultra High-Speed High-Resolution LC [ACQUITY UPLC PLUS]

Twenty years have passed since Waters launched the world's first ultra-high-performance liquid chromatograph (UPLC), and with the inclusion of <2.00> General Principles of Chromatography in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, more people are becoming interested in speeding up LC analytical methods. On the other hand, we hear voices saying, "I understand the benefits, but it's difficult to adopt it for quality control methods in the current situation," and "I don't know what other applications there are besides adopting it for quality control methods." In this webinar, we will focus on the development of analytical methods among the various applications of high-speed and high-resolution analysis, explaining the transfer of analytical methods from UPLC to HPLC, points for column selection, and the differences between HPLC and UPLC systems.

In this seminar, we will introduce case studies of analytical method development using QbD software: Fusion, and present solutions that are helpful for developing robust analytical methods. ◆ Development of testing methods using the analytical method and method development software Fusion Dr. Taiki Kamiya, Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The analysis department of the CMC Center, to which the speaker belongs, has been developing testing methods using HPLC and introduced Fusion four years ago to improve operational efficiency. This time, we will explain the introduction environment, background, and overview of Fusion, and introduce the operational methods used in the department. Additionally, we will share impressions of using Fusion (advantages and challenges) as well as examples of testing method development (successes and failures). ◆ Waters Analytical Development Solutions, Waters Japan We will introduce mass spectrometers that can be used in conjunction with QbD software, LC systems that enable smooth development and transfer of analytical methods, and the quality of analytical columns, which is crucial for conducting robust analyses over the long term.

In recent years, with the advancement and enhancement of polymer materials, various additives for synthetic polymers with different functions have been used in optimized formulations. Among them, there are types of additives, such as hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) and lubricants, that present challenges in solubility and detection methods, making analysis difficult. Additionally, when conducting structural analysis of multi-component polymers or terminal group analysis using pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (PyGC/MS), there are many pyrolysis products not registered in the EI method database, making analysis not straightforward. In this webinar, we will introduce two solutions to the challenges in the characterization of synthetic resins, along with practical examples. ■ Overview of additives for synthetic polymers ■ Actual quantitative analysis of HALS/lubricants ■ Examples of structural analysis of synthetic resins using PyGC/Q-Tof MS Target audience: Individuals handling organic compounds for the development and quality control of materials and industrial products.
