The use of Gas Chromatography plays a key role in the modern industry, not only by supplying effective data of known quality, but also providing these data in real-time or near real-time.
This course is offering everything the professional and the novice need to know about running, maintaining, and interpreting the results from Gas Chromatography. Analytical chemists, technicians, and scientists in allied disciplines will regard this course as the best in gas chromatography. In addition to serving as an invaluable update for the experienced practitioner, this course provides the beginner with a solid understanding of gas chromatographic theory and basic techniques.
This state-of-the-art course incorporates the most recent developments in the field of Gas Chromatography, including topics on optimization of separations and computer assistance; high speed or fast gas chromatography; mobile phase requirements: gas system requirements and sample preparation techniques; qualitative and quantitative analysis by Gas Chromatography; updated information on detectors; validation and QA/QC of chromatographic methods; and useful hints for troubleshooting gas chromatographs.
The fourth day of the course will be a practical/hands-on demonstration workshop in our Laboratory where participants will familiarize themselves with instruments, analyse sample mixtures and develop their own GC method by themselves with the guidance of the Course Instructor. In this way, the participants will get the benefits of using the course instruction in an applied situation to develop their own GC method. Further, participants will analyse the process, make adjustments and control the instrument, which will give them the most benefit from this course.
This course presents a well-rounded and comprehensive overview of the current state of this important technology, providing an invaluable knowledge that will greatly appeal to both experienced chromatographers and novices.
The course manual is a very comprehensive and contains many special topics that cover modern applications of GC in numerous disciplines. It is a must-have reference on the shelves of all laboratories doing gas chromatographic analyses.
