The Impact: <p>Reduce resource usage and waste generation.</p>
Details
Consider improving resource usage of your high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) purification by choosing columns with small diameters reducing the length of the column to reduce solvent consumption and waste creation. These aspects also apply for the analytical services via HPLC analysis or gas-chromatography (GC) analysis. Consider using newer column materials like core-shell-columns, monolithic columns. They withstand greater pressure which means you can switch to alternative solvents like ethanol instead of acetonitrile.
