The GC & GC-MS Clinic

The GC & GC-MS Clinic is often taken as a follow-on course from the Practical Essentials of GC & GC-MS, either during the same week or at a later stage, and together they form the Complete GC & GC-MS course.

What will I learn on this 2-day course?

It takes the practical theory learned in the Practical Essentials course and looks at how to choose the GC & GC-MS techniques for an application, set-up the instrument, how to develop & optimise methods and then finally how to maintain & troubleshoot the instrument, techniques and method. This advanced course also takes a brief look at advanced techniques to help solve those very tricky or complex applications including Selective Discrimination, Deconvolution, Two-Dimensional GC (GC+GC & GCxGC) and Chemometrics.

If you would like to improve your knowledge in a particular area and don't want to attend a 2-day course you can choose to attend individual days from the GC & GC-MS Clinic course.

If you have reasonable gas chromatography experience or have attended the Practical Essentials of GC & GC-MS course then please join us for this advanced training.

2-day course £400 plus 20% VAT. Click here to book this course.

Quotes from previous attendees

"Very good, well done. I'd recommend it."  3rd Year PhD Student, Environmental Engineering.

"I thought the info given was fantastic. Covered a wide range of things that I didn't even know were associated with GC. Diane presented very well and clearly and her knowledge on the subject is fantastic." Laboratory Technician, Geosciences.

"Very well organised and friendly. I had no idea there was so much to GC. A list of what all the acronyms mean would be very useful. Thank you." Research Fellow, Separation Sciences.

"It is a very useful course".  Post-Graduate Researcher, Newcastle University.

"Excellent if already using GC or GC/MS to increase knowledge and help to identify problems with instrumentation already using.  Particularly good information on troubleshooting and useful diagrams to visualise the whole instrumentation that is not considered by users."  Caroline Smith, Analyst, LGC Forensics.

"Notes are very good." Anonymous.

"The troubleshooting and maintenance section was very useful in helping me understand everything that I had been taught throughout the course.  It would be helpful if you have a GC-MS as there is a lot of MS information in the course and I don't have a MS attached."  Jean Ellis, Laboratory Technician, Liverpool University.
