HPLC Training Courses in Dublin, June 2012

Mourne Training Services is delighted to offer four HPLC training courses from our 'How to...' series which are designed to provide both theoretical and practical advice, enabling straight to lab application. Whether you are a complete beginner or are already using HPLC we can help to develop your expertise.

The courses are split into three topics:

1) an introductory programme which will demystify the parameters listed in HPLC methods;

2) a full treatment on troubleshooting HPLC systems and thus reducing downtime; and,

3) a two part method development course in which a strategic approach will enable you to develop HPLC methods quickly and efficiently. The two parts can be taken together for a complete method development course, or separately for maximum flexibility.

MTS Recommends... Measuring pKa using UV/Vis

When delivering HPLC method development training, I usually advise that the pKa of an analyte is taken into consideration, if appropriate, when selecting a suitable buffer pH. The problem with this approach is that the pKa value is not always known. A resource which may prove helpful is provided in the Chemistry Resources section of the Chemagination website where there are directions on ‘How to measure pKa by UV-vis spectrophotometry’.
