4.Fundamentals of GC 12/05/09

Date: 12/05/2009 Location: Cork 1 day course For the less experienced chromatographer or those wishing to update their skills, this course covers the fundamentally important concepts in modern GC analysis. Basics of the chromatographic process, sample preparation, inlet systems, column and detector selection are important topics covered to give the participant a thorough grounding in the technique. Instrument hardware is also covered with basic troubleshooting and maintenance tips as well as an introduction to chromatographic optimisation.

5.GC Trouble Shooting Maintenance

Date: 13/05/2009 Location: Cork 1 Day Course Sample introduction in GC can be the downfall of many analyses and therefore this aspect is covered in great detail during this course. A logical approach to troubleshooting is explored using both the Component (hardware based) and Symptomatic (chromatogram based) perspectives. Best practice for instrument maintenance and column handling as well as routines for cleaning and deactivating inlet and detection systems is discussed to aid the practitioner in prolonging the intervals between essential system maintenance. No longer will split or br...
