Practical Essentials of Sample Preparation

Introduction

The Practical Essentials of Sample Preparation course combines the 8 individual sample preparation modules covering Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE), Derivatisation, Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE), Solid-Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME), Headspace (HS), Purge-and-Trap (P&T), Thermal Desorption (TD) and Pyrolysis (Py).

These courses will teach you the theory for each sample preparation technique and the knowledge of how to create methods, analyse samples and the parameters that can be optimised for each technique.

Learning outcomes

You will learn about how to use eight independent sample preparation techniques for GC-MS and LC-MS in great detail
You will learn the fundamental theory of Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE), Derivatisation, Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE), Solid-Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME), Headspace (HS), Purge-and-Trap (P&T), Thermal Desorption (TD) and Pyrolysis (Py)
You will learn about the types of samples that can be analysed
You will learn about the various parameters that can be optimised for each technique to improve method robustness and sensitivity
You will learn about the individual steps and processes of each technique
You will learn the frequent maintenance and common troubleshooting problems for each technique
You will learn the tips and tricks of each technique
You will learn about the benefits of each technique for the analysis of your samples

Deleagates can attend all 8 modules of the course for a complete training solution covering the practical theory of these 8 sample preparation techniques. Alternatively, you can attend individual courses for specific training on each technique:
