This 1-day training course provides an introduction for complete beginners to gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
This course has been approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry for purposes of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Attendees will gain a firm foundation in the techniques by learning about the instrumentation used, how the separation process occurs and gaining an overview of the function and operation of each component of the instrument.
The types of samples which can be analysed are covered, along with the different sampling techniques available and considerations when preparing samples.
Beyond the instrumentation, the course discusses why the technique is used and the answers it can give, looking at qualitative and quantitative data analysis, to give you a full picture.
The course reviews different industries and their applications of the techniques, using each as a case study to apply knowledge learned throughout the course.
