Avantor® ACE® Knowledge notes
How to Determine Column Volume and Porosity
This Knowledge Note explains how to calculate and experimentally determine column volume and porosity.
How to Determine Extra Column Dispersion and Extra Column Volume
Extra column volume and dispersion can seriously affect column performance. Here we explain why, how to experimentally measure and approaches to help reduce their impact.
Gradient Method Translation Using the ACE LC Translator
The free to download ACE LC Translator can be used to simplify translating gradient methods between different format columns.
How to determine dwell volume of an HPLC or UHPLC system
Determining the dwell volume of an LC system is very useful as it is the basis of gradient elution method transfer.
Understanding the Relationship Between Particle Size, Performance and Pressure
Have you ever been confused as to the best solution to a certain separation problem? We explain the effect of these parameters on performance.
The Power of Stationary Phase Selectivity
One of the key variables in you method development is stationary phase selectivity. You can learn more about this important tool.
A Simple Step-by-Step Protocol for HILIC Method Development
If you are looking for a clear introduction to the practicalities of HILIC, this is a comprehensive guide for those unfamiliar with this mode of HPLC.
Creating the Correct Environment for Analysing Reducing Sugars
