Setting the Standard: Impact of Method Standardization in Chromatography

The Analytical Wavelength

What do a racecar and an LC/MS system have in common? They’re both sophisticated machines whose performance must be measured by applicable standards.

Scientists have long recognized the importance of standards, but with improvements in technology, the way we set them has changed. How can we use standardization to better communicate cutting-edge science? How can we improve our efficiency as chromatographers through data sharing?

Join us in Episode 3 to hear the racecar analogy, learn about method standardization, and catch a mention or two of vampire bats.
