Obtaining the best resolution for the method is critical for accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis, especially where chromatographic resolution is relied upon with standard GC detectors, as there is no MSD to take advantage of analytical resolution.
The latest Complete GC & GC-MS course, which took place between 20 and 24 September 2010 at the Open University in Milton Keynes, UK., marked a full transition to the Anthias growing team. With Stuart Pattinson as the course presenter, we're delighted to report consistent ratings of 5/5 given by attendees when rating the knowledge of the presenter, proving the high standard of Anthias GC & GC-MS courses.
Sample introduction or the GC inlet parameters are very often overlooked when developing a GC or GC-MS method, but these parameters are so powerful that they can result in success or total failure of an application and as a result are also the main area for troubleshooting and maintenance within the GC system.
Would you believe that only a small percentage of GC and GC-MS instruments are used to their full capabilities? This is the same for the data analysis systems.
In today's global climate of recession we really need to be making the most of what we have with optimised methods (both the analysis and the data processing) for high throughput and accurate analyses.
Stuart Pattinson has recently joined Anthias Consulting Ltd in the role of consultant to help meet ever-increasing requests for GC & GC-MS related training. Stuart has considerable experience utilising GC and GC-MS methods for the analysis of trace-level contaminants, especially in the environmental and water sectors, and comes also with extensive background in pharmaceutical/medical device manufacturing.
Anthias Consulting continues to provide high standard in its Absolute Basics and Complete GC and GC-MS courses, rating highly in the overall experience of the course as well as on the knowledge of presenters and quality of covered material.
The most recent courses taking place in May and June 2010 received great feedback, with attendees praising specifically the knowledge of the presenter, giving her ratings of 5/5.
