Quotes from previous attendees
"Good background knowledge on GC techniques and instrumentation, these were the things I was lacking". Research Technician, Metabolomic Research, Manchester University.
"Very good overview of the technique and possibilities, but also great practical tips. It's a lot of information - sometimes a little too much maybe, but it makes it possible for everyone to pick out the points that are important for them. Having a reasonably small group like we had, gives more chance for personal guidance - get your answers!" Femke Sterckx, PhD Student, Centre for Malting and Brewing Science, University of Leuven, Belgium.
"Diane presented the material well with easy digestable content." Adnan Zulfqar, PhD Student, The Open University.
"Strong background and practical focus. A session of hands-on would be advantageous. Instructors and organisers are warm and nice, yet professionable and knowledgeable. A very good exposure to GC-MS, current knowledge, industry, networking and technologies." Su Shiung Lam, PhD Student, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, UK.
"Brilliantly presented, warm and cosy atmosphere. Very informative, use of full documentation. Nice tips to organise yourself." Service Engineer, Separation Sciences.
"I found the course refreshed my knowledge and also taught me some things I didn't know beforehand. Some really good tips! Explained some techniques I had heard of but had no experience or knowledge of". Moya McCarron, Laboratory Technician, University of Liverpool.
"Rather a lot of information over a short period, I will need to sit in front of my instruments with the manual and go through it asap". Dr. Stan Lambert, John Moores University, Liverpool.
