Issue
Legacy HPLC method needs to be translated to a new column or LC system (HPLC to UHPLC or Analytical to Preparative LC).
Requirements
Install the most recent version of the HPLC Advisor app, see Installing the HPLC Advisor App.
Steps to Follow
Open the method translation calculator
Figure 1. Opening the Method Translation Calculators
Original method
Type in the parameters of the original method, including original column geometry, LC system dwell volume, flow rate, and injection volume (see Figure 2).
Scroll down to Your original gradient profile section, and edit the current steps by pressing the pencil icon on the right, or press the + Add step button.
Type the Time and %B for the gradient step. Press Save and add another step +, to continue adding gradient steps, or press Save and close to finish (See Figure 3).
Press Next.
Tip: To get more information of a parameter, press the information icon on the top right of the parameter field

Translated method
Type in the parameters of your translated column geometry, and LC system dwell volume.
The flow rate, injection volume and gradient profile of translated method are calculated and shown immediately.
The performance of translated method is also shown comparing to the original method at the bottom (see Figure 4).
The calculation is finished, and the data can be saved or exported to PDF. If you have a preferred flow rate for the translated method, press Modify.
Modified translation profile (optional)
This step is optional, only if you need to use a certain flow rate for the translated method.
