This course has been approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry for purposes of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

What will you learn on this course?

Spend the first day learning the theory of liquid chromatography and then using this knowledge to create isocratic and gradient methods, program detectors and analyse data.

The final day combines learning the reasons why maintenance is required, what happens if maintenance isn’t performed and the signs of when maintenance is needed along with practicals carrying out maintenance on a liquid chromatograph.

This course will cover the theory, methods and maintenance of the solvents & buffers (the mobile phase), pumps, isocratic and gradient elution, autosampler, injector, analytical columns, HPLC detectors and data analysis.
