The document discusses rapid HPLC method development. It outlines four critical aspects of rapid development: sample preparation, column selection, column configuration, and instrument optimization. Choosing the right bonded phase is key to achieving resolution. Common phases like C18 and C8 are recommended initially, with specialized phases for difficult samples. The document provides examples of developing methods for various sample types using different columns and conditions based on a rapid development scheme. Developing at low pH first and using temperature, then moving to mid pH if needed, can reduce analysis time while maintaining resolution and reproducibility.
