High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method Development | Essentials
Summary
The High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method Development | Essentials short course focuses on improving the use of HPLC instruments in the pharmaceutical industry and that the outputs obtained have been achieved through the most efficient manner. In this short course, participants will be trained in a state-of-the-art facility with dedicated instruments, learning how to operate a HPLC and understand the different components involved, such as selecting an appropriate column. Participants will learn how to manipulate chromatography parameters to optimise resolution, through optimising retention, selectivity, efficiency in isocratic and gradient methods. The training emphasises how each parameter influences these responses of interest, and how to apply the knowledge to real analytical challenges in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical contexts.

Highlights
The short course consists of online pre-learning activities and in-person sessions where participants will operate HPLC instruments. Participants will complete a pre-learning survey to indicate their knowledge of HPLC instruments and their intended use, as well as an online module to prepare them for the operation of the instrument. The in-person sessions will be led by an expert facilitator and will focus on laboratory activities that will empower participants to perform optimised method development.
Dr Laurence Orlando brings 15 years of pharmaceutical industry R&D experience, including senior roles in Chemistry, Manufacturing & Control, New Product Development, and Formulation Management across Australia, New Zealand and France, together with 17 years designing and delivering industry-grade training at Monash University's Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Her HPLC and Design of Experiments (DOE) programs are built from the practitioner's seat. The HPLC training is delivered on current-generation UPLC instrumentation and covers method development, troubleshooting, and robustness as they occur in a real lab. Her DOE training demystifies the principles behind industry-standard software, equipping participants with transparent, immediately applicable tools for their own formulation and process challenges.
Her work has been recognised with the 2024 Australian Financial Review Higher Education Award and a National OLT Citation, and is widely endorsed by industry leaders across the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and analytical sectors.
Enrolment into this short course is subject to Terms and Conditions.
