Quantitative HPLC analysis is an important technique used in most quality control and analytical laboratories. Critical decisions about product batches are made based on the results of these analyses, so it is vital that the final analytical results are correct and reliable. To ensure accurate results are obtained at the end of a process, it is important to ensure that the steps at the beginning of the process are carefully executed and recorded correctly.
Calibration standards must be accurately prepared, and weight and concentration data must be clearly documented and managed throughout the process. Any errors in weighing data or calculations in the initial stages will be propagated downstream, leading to errors in the final result. The implications of bad decisions based on incorrect analytical results could be disastrous.
This application note describes an integrated workflow with an automatic weighing data flow starting with the preparation of samples and standards and ending with chromatographic analysis in the HPLC. The solution delivers efficient and error-free chromatographic workflows (LC or GC) for analytical labs and provides operators with confidence in the generated data.
The note shows how a seamlessly integrated solution enables direct and automatic transfer of all weighing data including metadata from the balance to the chromatography data system. This supportive combination can be a significant first step towards a digital and paperless lab.
