CapLC Conversations: Expert Insights on Small-Scale, yet Big-Impact Chromatography

Capillary liquid chromatography (capLC) is emerging as one of the more compelling separation technologies of the future. CapLC offers significant reductions in operating costs, minimal laboratory space requirements, enhanced portability, and strong alignment with green analytical chemistry principles, yet widespread adoption remains limited. The lack of adoption is often due to knowledge gaps in operation, method transfer to and from analytical-scale LC, and uncertainties in instrumentation options.

This networking session brings together leading experts and forward-thinking practitioners from the Capillary Innovation Forum to share informed perspectives on why capLC is poised to play a significant role in modern analytical laboratories. Attendees will engage in open, yet well-structured discussions covering practical strategies for method design and optimization, the latest instrumentation developments, and proven approaches for successful bidirectional method transfer between analytical and capillary scales.

Participants will gain cutting-edge insights into emerging applications, performance benefits, and implementation pathways—knowledge that can help overcome common adoption hurdles. Whether you’re exploring capLC for its cost efficiency, its green credentials, or its adaptability for compact and mobile setups, this session promises a high-value exchange of ideas, grounded in real-world experience and future-focused vision.
