Rapid Chemistry System Screening

Rapid Chemistry System Screening

A rigorous quantitative approach to stationary and mobile phase chemistry selection (method scouting)

Patented Trend Responses automatically extract critical information on shape and selectivity from each experiment chromatogram without the need for peak tracking at the screening stage

Quickly identify critical method parameters and
select study ranges for follow on optimization experiments

Robust Method Optimization (LC, LC-MS, SFC, …)

Robust Method Optimization

Revolutionary method optimization with:

  • Flexible DOE Experimental Design
  • Automated UV & MS Based Peak Tracking
  • Retention-based Resolution Modeling
  • Monte-Carlo Robustness Simulation
  • Forced Degradation Study Automation
  • Non-LC Method Development (GC, CE, Disso., …)

Establish the Method Operable Design Region (MODR)
for all Critical Analytical Method Attributes

Sample Preparation Method Optimization

Sample Preparation

Rapid Screening to identify all Critical Method Parameters

Full CDS automation for LC testing

Robust Optimization with Monte-Carlo Robustness Simulation

Establish the Method Operable Design Region (MODR)
for all Critical Sample Preparation Method Attributes

Interval Test

Replication Strategy Optimization

The number of individual measurements described in the analytical procedure which contribute to the calculation of the reportable result.

  • Characterize the Total Analytical Error (TAE)
  • Quantify the Percent Contribution of Sample Preparation and Sample Injection to the TAE
  • Combine Accuracy (Bias) and Precision using
    USP <1210> Interval Metrics

Identify the Optimum Replication Strategy for
All Critical Analytical Method Performance Requirements
