Webinar: The Amino Acid Separation Challenge – From Analytical to Prep
Attend live on October 6, 2026 | 11:00 AM EDT
Amino acid separations can present unique challenges, from distinguishing closely related stereoisomers to developing methods that can be transferred from analytical screening to preparative purification. It all starts with choosing the right stationary phase. Join Dr. Weston Umstead as he explores how different column technologies – including polysaccharide-based chiral phases, ion-exchange chiral phases like ZWIX®, QN-AX/QD-AX, crown ether-based chiral phases like Crownpak® , and Vaast – can address a range of amino acid separation challenges. Wes will discuss:
- The challenges of amino acid stereochemistry and chiral separation • A brief overview of screening and chiral method development
- Applications for different column technologies and when each may be appropriate
- Examples demonstrating the capabilities of Vaast for challenging amino acid and peptide separations
Whether you’re developing an analytical method, screening for selectivity, or looking to scale a separation for purification, this webinar will provide practical insight into comparing approaches and finding the right tool for your separation.
