This course covers all the practical theory you need to know about Gas Chromatography and its related techniques including gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS); gases and plumbing; sample introduction like split, splitless, on-column and large volume injection techniques; data analysis; and sampling techniques like headspace, SPME, pyrolysis, thermal desorption, purge & trap, liquid-liquid and solid-phase extraction.
The course looks at how to choose the GC & GC-MS techniques for an application, set-up the instrument, how to develop and optimise methods and then finally how to maintain and troubleshoot the instrument, techniques and method. It also takes a brief look at advanced techniques to help solve those very tricky applications.
This course has been approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry for purposes of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
You can attend all 5 days, or alternatively, you can attend individual days to focus on a particular area.
