When tackling non-specific adsorption in high-impact chromatographic applications, surface technology can be one’s greatest asset or one’s enemy. Explore the challenges stemming from non-specific adsorption, see where conventional liquid chromatography (LC) surfaces fall short, and learn how disruptive surface modification technology is changing the industry, allowing teams to see what they’ve been missing.

Event Overview:
This webinar addresses the challenge of non-specific adsorption in liquid chromatography, arising from the interactions of analytes with metal surfaces in LC instruments and columns. These issues, including peak tailing and loss of analyte signals, result from the adsorption of analytes on the metal oxide layer of the components. To combat this issue, Waters developed MaxPeak HPS, a disruptive surface modification technology applied to metal components in HPLC and UPLC instruments and columns.
The hybrid organic−inorganic surface, based on ethylene-bridged siloxane chemistry, significantly improves performance in reversed-phase and hydrophilic interaction (HILIC) chromatography, demonstrating enhanced separations for various small molecules as well as nucleotides, phosphopeptides, and oligonucleotides. The technology proves particularly advantageous in UHPLC/mass spectrometry investigations of metal-sensitive analytes, enabling higher efficiency and improved peak characteristics. This webinar provides background education on non-specific adsorption and its deleterious effects, introduces MaxPeak HPS surface technology and the family of products that leverage MaxPeak HPS technology.
