COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises where participants will visit the laboratory and they will be introduced to various lab instruments and gas chromatography process. Practical sessions will be performed using one of the lab equipment in order to apply the theory learnt in the class.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and advanced overview on Gas Chromatography and Troubleshooting Techniques. It covers the sampling and sample handling including the contamination; the laboratory sub-sampling; the sample preservation; the holding time, the receiving and disposal of completed samples; the data reporting and the sample accountability; the different techniques of sample preparation such as adsorption, sampling, extraction, derivatization, desorption, extraction, fractionation and the clean-up.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the difference of the packed and capillary columns; the gas chromatography operation; the sample injection techniques; the GC detectors; the gas chromatography mass spectrometry; the high-speed gas chromatography; and the methods of GC validation and its troubleshooting.
