Course approval

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?

This course begins with the theory of thermal desorption, types of samples that can be analysed using this technique, types of tube packing materials and how to collect samples.

This course will cover the thermal desorption of gas-phase and solid-phase samples.

Feedback from previous attendees:

"I enjoyed that the course covered all aspects of TD knowledge required and that it was understandable for even a beginner like myself." April 2021.

"This course gave me a good overview of what goes into analyzing with thermal desorption alone and helped to formulate some ideas of how it can be implemented in our laboratory. This course moved at a steady pace, was perfect for a novice. There wasn't anything I was not able to understand and possibly use in the future." Feedback from the Practical Essentials of Thermal Desorption Short Course at Pittcon 2019.

"Very thorough. Slides are excellent. Good pace." Feedback from the Practical Essentials of Thermal Desorption Short Course at Pittcon 2019.
