Course
Gas chromatography for separation and quality control
If you use gas chromatography regularly in the laboratory for research purposes or quality control and want to improve your techniques and increase efficiency, then this course is for you! In an optimal 1-day program, you will combine theory and practice around gas chromatography methods in a manufacturer-neutral setting. After the course, you will be familiar with the different injection techniques, column types and the influence of furnace parameters. Furthermore, you will also be given the right tools to effectively analyze the results of experiments. If you regularly use gas chromatography in the laboratory for research purposes or quality control and want to improve your techniques and increase efficiency, then this course is for you!
What can you expect from this course?
Learning Outcomes:
- Master the structural approach to experiment design so that you can formulate methodologies from scratch tailored to your specific analytical needs.
