Importance of hardware selection in peptide analysis including GLP-1 receptor agonists

13 Oct 2026

This application note investigates the impact of column hardware on peptide analysis, with a focus on GLP-1 receptor agonists including liraglutide, semaglutide, retatrutide and tirzepatide. Learn how interactions between peptides and conventional stainless-steel HPLC hardware can lead to analyte adsorption, peak broadening and reduced sensitivity. Discover how bioinert YMC Accura column hardware minimizes metal-analyte interactions, improves peak shape and signal intensity, and enhances quantitative performance, particularly for LC-MS applications and low-concentration peptide analysis.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.
