Following the remarkable success of the Agilent training courses held at The Open University in Milton Keynes, UK for the year 2012, Anthias Consulting is now extending its course range, offering more and greater courses. There are currently six various GC and GC-MS training courses being provided on the Agilent 7890 GC and 5975 MSD instruments including software, hardware and Mass Spectral Interpretation training.
The new courses are:
Agilent R1791A CFT QuickSwap and Backflush 1-day £295: This one-day course mixes classroom and laboratory training and is designed for those who want to enhance their skills in the use of the Agilent QuickSwap and purged “Tee” systems including the selection of columns, restrictors, system configuration and method optimization, plus develop backflushing skills.
Agilent R1790A CFT Splitters 1-day £295: This one-day course mixes classroom and laboratory training and is designed for those who want to enhance their skills in the use of both purged and non-purged Agilent Splitter systems including the selection of restrictors, system configuration and method optimization.
Agilent R1805A Retention Time Locking 1-day £250: This one-day course mixes classroom and laboratory training and is designed to provide an understanding of the principles of RTL, how useful it is for the Screener Database and DRS methods and then learn how to set-up & maintain RTL methods in the laboratory.
These courses will be held at the Agilent Centre of Excellence in Comprehensive Chromatography based at The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK. The centre boasts a wide range of equipment including a range of Agilent GCs, MSDs, detectors, inlets and CFT devices including the GCxGC flow modulator.

The feedback of a participant from the recent Agilent GC Operator course was, “I enjoyed the course content. It was very detailed and taught me about different areas of Chemstation that I didn’t know about.” Christine Kamukwanyama, Forensic Scientist at the National Forensic Science Institute in Namibia.
Another participant, a Research Fellow attending the Agilent H4043A GC-MS Operator course said, “Very informative, practical “hands-on” GC-MS work. Excellent course materials. Detailed to the right level.”
Diane Turner, Director of Anthias said, “It is a great to work with Agilent in order to provide these courses. Our success for 2012 has catapulted our need to increase the range of Agilent courses provided.”
