Gas Chromatograph Practical Skill (GC-103)

Purpose

The purpose of the Gas Chromatograph Troubleshooting Training Course is to cover fundamental and advanced concepts of gas chromatography. This course utilizes a one of a kind gas chromatograph simulator which allows the student to learn and demonstrate understanding in method development, GC gating and calibration. Additionally, the simulator can be set up to run in backflush or heatcut backflush mode to test the student’s comprehension of this subject matter.

Audience

The course is designed for analyzer specialists or analyzer technicians who are seeking a better understanding of how to set-up a gas chromatograph. This program is 20-30% lecture and 70- 80% lab. Individuals attending this course must have one year of experience working with gas chromatographs or have completed the Basic Chemistry and Basic Chromatography Training Course. This is not an entry level training course.

Structure

15 sessions, labs, a baseline exam and final exam.
