TITLE: Strategies in Automated Method Development
Ian Peirson & Michael McBrien (ACD/Labs)

Abstract: The iterative and inherently time-consuming nature of chromatographic method development logically leads the chromatographer to the conclusion that this is an area where automation must play a key role. Previous efforts in automated method development have thus focused considerable effort in the instrument control aspects of development, generating time savings in terms of chromatographers transcribing method information from modeling software to chromatography data systems. However, the system must also focus on the other aspects of method development: clear communication of what was done; effective, accurate automated data extraction; a clear mechanism for manual review and correction of results; and efficient reporting. A complete solution in automated method development should begin with an effective, efficient system for method development, and link this to instrument control.

Practically all of the features associated with a complete solution in automated method development are equally applicable to the computer-assisted method development process. This presentation will discuss the current state-of-the-art software in Method Development Suite LC/MS 11.0, detailing the new capabilities that are to be enabling technologies for the upcoming release of the fully automated AutoChrom for ChemStation and AutoChrom for Empower.
