Online HPLC Analysis with DirectInject-LC

Enhance Process Understanding with Online HPLC Analysis

DirectInject-LC™ transforms HPLC into an online technique for reaction analysis that enables scientists to gain the data required to understand complex processes in near real-time.

DirectInject-LC bridges the gap between offline methods and real-time, in-situ process analytical technologies (PAT), such as ReactIR™, ReactRaman™, and EasyViewer™, by effortlessly sampling a wide range of chemical reactions, with automated sample quench, dilution, and delivery to a chromatography instrument.

Combine DirectInject-LC with world-leading reaction analysis and modeling software to gain near real-time insight into quantitative reaction concentrations and kinetics, crystallization processes, and impurity profiles.

Comprehensive Reaction Monitoring and Understanding — Application Examples

Continuous Chiral Crystallization

Researchers achieved supersaturation control of a continuous chiral crystallization with high yield of the enantiopure product.

Examine the Entire Reaction Mass

A 5-fold increase in reaction rate was obtained from a mechanistic understanding of entire reaction mass, while mitigating sample decomposition.

Structurally Similar Species

Reaction understanding enabled full synthetic control of an important organic conductor during an air-sensitive cross-coupling with multiple similar intermediates.
