Transfer of HPLC methodTransfer of HPLC method
It is possible to transfer most HPLC methods to ACQUITY systems with attention to details—Instrument design and performance differences could result in
result differences
—Some adjustments may be required
But: This is not taking advantage of UPLC!!

Instrument Differences: Instrument Differences: Compensating for System VolumesCompensating for System Volumes
Compare system volumes—This volume should be converted to column volumes for the best
comparison
If target system gives smaller isocratic segment—ADD an initial hold to the gradient table to give the identical
hold.
If target system gives larger isocratic segment—No exact compensation is possible
—Chromatographic effect of extra isocratic hold usually small

Method Migration ExampleMethod Migration ExampleFlow RateFlow Rate
For Migration:—First, adjust flow rate proportional to column diameter
squared for constant linear velocity (geometrically scaled)
—Second, adjust Gradient Table to maintain the same number of column volumes of solvent through the target column
—Finally, adjust flow rate (linear velocity) for smaller particle
oAnalyte molecular weight must be considered

Estimate Optimum Flow RateEstimate Optimum Flow RateUPLCUPLC®®
Consider 1.7µm target particle (2.1mm ID column)
Assume temperature and viscosity transferred
Adjust flow rate based on van Deemter curve and approximate molecular weight
— ~0.6 mL/min for smaller molecules
oaverage 500 dalton (molecular weight) molecules
— ~0.1 mL/min for larger molecules because diffusion is slower
oe.g., ~2,000 dalton peptides

Scaling for UPLCScaling for UPLC®® Flow RateFlow RateStep Time to Maintain Duration (Step Time to Maintain Duration (cvcv))
Original Step 2: 15 min.@ 1.5 mL/min with Duration of 9.03cv
Calculate Target Step 2: (keeping duration @ 9.03cv)
Target Column Volume (2.1 x 50) = 0.17mL
Gradient Step Volume = Duration (cv) x Target Column Volume
= 9.03cv x 0.17mL = 1.54mL
Gradient Step Time = Gradient Step Volume / UPLC™ Flow Rate
= 1.54mL / 0.60 mL/min. =

Method Conversion Process:Method Conversion Process:Steps for SuccessSteps for Success
Refer to current chromatography—Observe system volumes, solvents and detection technique
—Define objectives/room for improvement
Select column dimensions – scale flow for linear velocity—50 mm length for speed
—100mm length for complex samples/resolution
Scale injection volume to column dimensions
Use a gradient and flow scaled from current method—Adjust gradient to accommodate system differences, column
differences and particle size differences
Use a gradient and flow rate scaled for UPLC®

Method ConversionMethod ConversionSignificantlySignificantly Different Column ChemistryDifferent Column Chemistry
When column chemistries are different, try a modified method development approach
Proposed Strategy 1:—Understand general column selectivity differences
—Follow chemistry and system scaling protocols
—Generic gradients : 10 to 90 % organic solvent
—Run a short gradient (3 min) and a long gradient (6 min)
—Optimization tools (simulation software) are useful
Proposed Strategy 2:—Follow method development protocols
At what point does method conversion become method development?
