Workflow

  1. Perform Prep Procedure

    1-2 hours

    Follow the established methodology for prep scale purification. Execute each substep with care, using calibrated instruments where needed. Follow chromatography standards throughout.

  2. Record and Analyze Results

    1 hour

    Systematically record all measurements and observations. Use appropriate units and notation. Cross-reference readings with expected ranges for chromatography.

  3. Review Quality and Document Findings

    45 min

    Compare collected data against reference standards. Identify any anomalies or areas needing repeat measurement. Create a complete record with all findings and next steps.

  • Calibrate First

    Uncalibrated instruments produce unusable data — verify zero and span before each session.

  • Contamination Control

    Clean workspace between samples to prevent cross-contamination.

  • Chemical Hazards

    Review SDS for all chemicals before use — know spill response procedures.

Safety Notes

  • Organic solvents are flammable — no open flames in the lab.
  • Wear safety goggles when handling pressurized HPLC systems.
