When you want Fast LC, you need BALANCE
The ever-increasing demand for high troughput analysis of drug candidates during the early stages of drug discovery has generated an acute need for rapid methods of analysis.

The Truth about Fast LC
The truth is speed is only one feature of a balanced performance solution. efficiency and selectivity have critical roles as well. All of these features are interrelated, and manipulation to optimize one feature will affect the others either directly or inversely. Furthermore, they may all contribute towards
high system pressure, an undesirable side effect.
A winning balanced solution for fast LC will significantly reduce chromatographic run time while properly addressing the performance requirements dictated by a laboratory’s research objectives (i.e. efficiency, speed, selectivity) and available HPLC systems.
