Course Description
In Gas chromatography 90% of the trouble experienced, is happening in the injection system. In this course we will discuss the purpose and impact of the critical parts (consumables) present in split and splitless injection and how this impact in a maintenance schedule. At the end we will discuss a series of practical examples via troubleshooting exercises.
Target Audience
This course is suited for managers, analytical chemist, engineers and those who want to implement process analytical measurements. It is suited for R&D, Pilot plant and manufacturing chemists and engineers.
Learning Objective
In this half day course we will discuss the maintenance challenges for Split and Splitless injection techniques that are used in GC. We will zoom in carrier gas choice and purity, tubing, connections, septa, ferrules, seals, liners, column-coupling, installation and column maintenance.. Also column operation/optimization and extending column life time will be discussed.
