Adapting HPLC to the Capillary Scale: Insights from Academia and Industry

Adapting HPLC to the Capillary Scale: Insights from Academia and Industry

This event is now available on demand.

Event Overview:

Adapting high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods to the capillary scale opens new possibilities for pharmaceutical analysis and sustainability. This joint session with the University of Pavia and Axcend examines real-world method conversions that preserve performance while minimizing waste. Case studies include detection of a polar impurity in pediatric ibuprofen mini-tablets using a micro-HPLC-UV method, and a USP -guided adaptation for hydrochlorothiazide demonstrating over 99% solvent reduction. Attendees will gain insight into practical guidelines, expected trade-offs, and data from both academic and regulated environments, offering a roadmap to adapting validated pharmaceutical monographs to the capillary scale without the need for revalidation.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Adapt pharmaceutical monographs to the capillary scale without revalidation
  • Identify expected performance gains and trade-offs at low-flow rates
  • Explore real-world data from academic and regulated environments

Who Should Attend:

  • Chemists, analytical researchers, lab directors and managers, VPs and directors of QC/QA, lab owners, academics
  • Next most relevant audience job positions

Featured Speakers:

Sam Foster, ph.D

Scientist
Axcend​

Dr. Samuel Foster completed his Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from Rowan University in 2025. His research has focused on the development and application of capillary scale liquid chromatography instrumentation.
