Brechbuehler AG: Fast LC

When you want Fast LC, you need BALANCE

The ever-increasing demand for high troughput analysis of drug candidates during the early stages of drug discovery has generated an acute need for rapid methods of analysis.

The Truth about Fast LC

The truth is speed is only one feature of a balanced performance solution. efficiency and selectivity have critical roles as well. All of these features are interrelated, and manipulation to optimize one feature will affect the others either directly or inversely. Furthermore, they may all contribute towards
high system pressure, an undesirable side effect.

A winning balanced solution for fast LC will significantly reduce chromatographic run time while properly addressing the performance requirements dictated by a laboratory’s research objectives (i.e. efficiency, speed, selectivity) and available HPLC systems.

3 balanced solutions to balance Your speed, pressure, efficiency and selectivity:

	Speed	Pressure	Efficiency	Selectivity
High Speed Technology (HST) Columns	Fast	<400 Bar	Highest	Several phases
Mercury Columns and Cartridges	Fast	<400 Bar	High	Most phases
Monolithic Columns	Fastest	<200 Bar	Good	Some phases
