Mobile phase optimisation for oligonucleotide analytical methods by LC-MS
1 July 2020 | By Phenomenex
In this on-demand webinar, we provide an overview of nucleic acid therapeutics and discuss the chromatographic challenges associated with oligonucleotides. We also explore modulation of the mobile phase additives alkylamine ion pair and perfluorinated alcohols. Finally, we will show how optimisation of mobile phase can improve not only chromatographic performance…
