GC troubleshooting and maintenance HC286 / K01
Summary
A logical approach to GC troubleshooting and maintenance is explored in this one day course. Commonly encountered problems and best practices are examined for all major system components including gas handling, inlet system, oven, column and detector. Examination of separation chemistry, interrogation of poor peak shape and retention problems are a fundamentally important part of the course, leading to increased awareness of troubleshooting principles.
This course is recommended for those relatively new to GC and ideally will follow-on from attendance to the Fundamental GC training course. Some previous knowledge of gas chromatography and basic experience are recommended but not essential.

- how the chromatographic process takes place
- the architecture of a GC system
