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 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 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.
This program intends comprehensively to highlight and discuss in details the components of the technique, its use, trouble shooting, maintenance, calibration, interface with other techniques and some practical workshops to familiarize the theoretical information into practice.
The program explores other use for the GC, particularly the methods development for new compounds in research and development area and how this technique can be very powerful detection when it is used with other techniques such as Mass Spectroscopy or High Performance Liquid Chromatography.
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
ü To build extensive understanding and excellent skills in gas chromatography technology and associated techniques used.
ü To operate the gas chromatography equipment in the safest and best practical way.
ü To build up the knowledge and skills on how to maintain gas chromatography and able to train others, particularly the graduates and new comers.
ü To calibrate gas chromatography and produce results with the highest precision and accuracy and reliable source
ü To manage trouble shooting and identifying the source of the problem and the scientific method of eliminating the problem from reoccurring.
