Course Description
This course will provide theoretical fundamentals of low pressure (LP) vacuum outlet gas chromatography (GC) as well as practical hands-on experience on LPGC assembly that can be implemented in any laboratory for fast separation of semi-volatile organic compounds. The main advantage of LPGC is speed, which provides 4 times faster separation compared to conventional GC, thus leading to high sample throughput and productivity. Additional benefits include greater sensitivity, reduced degradation of thermally liable compounds, greater ruggedness and reduced peak tailing. In short, LPGC can increase productivity, reduce GC separation time, improve instrument ruggedness and reduce time for maintenance.
Target Audience
This course is for anyone using GC-MS or GC-MS/MS in their laboratory. Any laboratory personnel, scientists interested in speeding up GC separation for semi-volatile organic compounds (pesticides, environmental contaminants, nutraceutical, forensic, petroleum applications) will benefit from this course.
