This course has been designed for anyone who is either new to GC, or who wishes to expand their current knowledge and understanding about the technique as a whole.

All aspects of the technology and system are covered - from gas supplies, through sample introduction and column chemistries, to an overview of common detector types. The main focus is on fundamental concepts but important practical aspects and some basic troubleshooting will also be introduced.

Course Delivery & Duration

• 4 video sessions - each session is between 1- 2 hours long
• Tutor supported with access to our chromatography experts
• Supporting training material
• Course assessment with certificate

HPLC column dimensions will affect the efficiency sensitivity, and speed of an analysis. The choice of column dimensions will depend on the chromatographic application; analytical, semi-preparative, preparative, number of analytes in the mixture etc.  However, the dimensions can also be altered to improve chromatography by achieving more efficient, sensitive, and faster analyses.  The primary column dimensions of particle size, length, and internal diameter will be discussed and their effect on chromatographic separations demonstrated, providing some practical insight into how to select the best column dimensions for a particular application...

Headspace sampling is excellent for the qualitative or quantitative analysis of volatile species in samples that can be efficiently partitioned into the headspace gas volume from either a liquid or solid matrix.  It is also a good technique for the analysis of samples where the entire sample should not be injected into the GC instrument (i.e. dirty samples).  Headspace sampling is also particularly amenable to the analysis of trace levels of analytes.  

Typical examples of headspace analyses include...
