3 Transfer method between systems.
Trang 3Cases 1: Transfers from HPLC to UPLC
Let's plan the method conversion to UPLC !
Oh no! UPLC easily clogs columns, requires frequent
maintenance, and the columns degrade quicklyBut they say it has high productivity, solvent-saving, overall still saving more than 1 billion a year
Oh no! Full adherence to the method is required,
regulations do not allow otherwise
USP 621 allows for changes within limits
Cases 2: Transfers between the same systems
Cases 2: Transfers between the different systems (model, brands)
We will invest in expansion, purchasing an additional Agilent UPLC 1290
Oh no, we already have one from brand X, converting the method is difficult and time-consuming Let's just buy one similar to the old system, boss!
I like Agilent Don't worry They have ISET technology Just give them a call!
We will build a new factory and invest in a similar HPLC system
You prepare to transfer and train the method for the new factory!
Yes, boss, but it will take a long time to transfer the method!
"Don't worry, I bought more ISET options They said only need 01 for transfers."

How does it work in the Modern HPLC Method?
solid core columns and shortening analyte diffusion path
Trang 10Superficially Porous Particle Column (SPP)
USP officially allows the use of SPP columns.
USP<621>
- Solid core particle with thin porous shell coating
- Improved column efficiency and separation performance
- Reduced diffusion path within the porous shell leads to faster mass transfer and higher resolution
Trang 11• Van Deemter Plots vs System Pressure
Effects Of Smaller Particles
• Small particles lead to lower HETP, and therefore higher separation efficiency.
• Small particles lead to narrower, higher peaks.
• For smaller particles the separation efficiency suffers less when increasing flow rate.
But: Smaller particles generate higher back pressure.
