What will you learn on this course?
This module looks at the different types of GC columns; the different types of stationary phases and analyte interactions; the different dimensions and stationary phase thicknesses and how to choose them. It looks at the analyte peak shapes and the factors affecting these, along with the calculations of the important chromatographic terms for column performance. Finally, the GC column oven is considered along with the influence of temperature on the separation.
Learning outcomes
- You will learn in detail how separations occur in gas chromatography.
- You will learn how to select a GC column.
- You will learn how to determine the quality of the GC separation.
- You will learn about the role of the GC column oven and temperature.
Who is this course for?
If you have limited GC experience, wish to learn more or would like to brush-up on your knowledge about this particular section of the instrument then this is the module for you.
How does the virtual classroom training work?
You will be provided with a link to access the virtual classroom and the training course will be presented live at the scheduled time through video conferencing. You will have the opportunity to ask questions during the live course. If for any reason you miss the live broadcast, you will be provided with a one-time link to access a recording of the course and can submit any questions via email.
