Develop HPLC Method
Skill Verified ActiveDevelop a high-performance liquid chromatography method: define separation goals, select column chemistry and mobile phase, optimize gradient and flow conditions, choose the appropriate detector, and evaluate initial method performance for target analytes in solution or complex matrices.
To provide users with a comprehensive and structured procedure for developing robust and efficient HPLC methods, enabling accurate analysis of various compounds.
Features
- Defines separation goals and performance criteria
- Guides column chemistry and mobile phase selection
- Optimizes gradient, flow, and temperature conditions
- Assists in detector selection based on analyte properties
- Details method evaluation and refinement steps
Use Cases
- Developing new HPLC methods from scratch for small molecules
- Adapting existing HPLC methods to different instruments or columns
- Improving resolution, run times, or sensitivity of current HPLC methods
- Analyzing compounds that are non-volatile, thermally labile, or polar
Non-Goals
- Performing the actual chromatography runs
- Validating the developed method according to regulatory guidelines (though it prepares for validation)
- Troubleshooting issues with the HPLC instrument hardware itself
Practices
- Method Development
- Analytical Chemistry

Interpret Chromatogram
95Interpret a chromatogram from GC or HPLC analysis: verify system suitability parameters, identify peaks by retention time and spectral matching, perform accurate peak integration, calculate chromatographic figures of merit, and assess overall peak quality for reliable quantitation.
Develop Gc Method
95Develop a gas chromatography method from scratch: define analytical objectives, select column chemistry, optimize temperature programming, choose carrier gas and detector, and validate initial system performance for target analytes in a given matrix.
Scientific Brainstorming
98Creative research ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, or identifying research gaps. Best for early-stage research planning when you do not have specific observations yet. For formulating testable hypotheses from data use hypothesis-generation.
LaTeX Research Posters
98Create professional research posters in LaTeX using beamerposter, tikzposter, or baposter. Support for conference presentations, academic posters, and scientific communication. Includes layout design, color schemes, multi-column formats, figure integration, and poster-specific best practices for visual communication.
Protocols.io Integration
95Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.
Paperzilla
95Chat with your agent about projects, recommendations, and canonical papers in Paperzilla. Use when users ask for recent project recommendations, canonical paper details, markdown-based summaries, recommendation feedback, feed export, or Atom feed URLs.
