Traditionally, peptide purification has relied on preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC), known for its excellent resolution and impurity removal. However, this method is often hampered by low column loading capacity and extended purification times, which makes it inefficient and difficult to scale. In response to these challenges, sustainable flash chromatography can be an alternative to prep-HPLC.

Automated reversed-phase flash purification offers a fast, flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional methods, enabling researchers to purify synthetic peptides efficiently and redirect their efforts toward more important tasks. This approach addresses issues such as molecule-specific optimization, scale-up difficulties and the inefficiencies of current processes, providing a greener and more efficient solution.

As the demand for greener practices in chemistry labs grows, efforts to reduce waste generation and increase the use of safer solvents have become critical for organizations and research groups synthesizing and purifying peptides. Suboptimal purification techniques significantly increase solvent consumption and lead to duplicated efforts when initial purifications fail. Furthermore, solvents commonly used in peptide purification are now under scrutiny, leading to increasing use restrictions and the need for safer, more sustainable alternatives.

In this webinar, the expert speakers will explore how innovative purification strategies can help advance green initiatives. They will present strategies behind sustainable flash purification of peptides, focusing on how they reduce solvent consumption, minimize purification time while maximizing final purity. Additionally, they will discuss how this technology can help meet the evolving needs of peptide synthesis and purification while supporting a more environmentally conscious approach to laboratory practices.
