Your essential guide to gases and plumbing for GC
Module 2 of the Complete GC & GC-MS and the Practical Essentials of GC & GC-MS course.
Practical Essentials of GC gases and plumbing module is approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) for the purposes of Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Take an in-depth approach to various types of carrier gases used in GC, alongside cooling, detector, and collision cell gases.
Explore the fundamental principles of gas connections and systems in GC. This training is designed for those professionals, students and chemists who want to take the first steps to enhance their knowledge of gases and plumbing used within GC.
This module can be combined with any of the other twelve modules in the Complete GC and GC-MS to tailor your training needs
Why should I join?
On completion of this module 2 training, you will have a solid understanding of the importance of gases and plumbing for GC, giving you:
- An overview of the different gases used in GC
- Clear explanations of properties of the various gas types used in GC
- Understanding of considerations required for the carrier gas
- Overview of the importance of gas purity in GC
- A great addition to the other modules in our Complete GC and GC-MS
- A great refresher on GC gases and plumbing if you have not performed GC for a while
What would I learn?
This module focuses on explaining the importance of gases and plumbing when it comes to using GC, where you will learn:
- The pros and cons of the various types of gas that can be used in GC
- What information gas cylinder colours can provide
- What kind of gas regulators are available to use
- When and how to use traps and filters for gases in GC
- The various types of controls available for gases, including, electronic pressure control and programmable pneumatic control
What knowledge will I gain?
By the end of the module, you will:
- Understand how various gas types can impact GC analysis and why one may prefer nitrogen over hydrogen
- Know gas cylinder safety and what labelling on a cylinder means
- Understand a gas regulator and what each gauge means
- Know the differences between single-stage and two stage gas regulators
- Comprehend how the supply tubing may need to be tailored to the type of gas being used in GC
- Know the importance of traps and filters to aid in analysis
- Be familiar with the recommended set-up for GC with regards to gases and plumbing
Is this course for me?
This course is designed for anyone who would like to learn about gases and plumbing in GC analysis.
- Laboratory analysts & technicians using GC and GC-MS
- Laboratory or line managers overseeing GC and GC-MS instruments and analysis
- Data analysts and report writers who work with GC and GC-MS
- Service engineers who want chemistry focused viewpoint to GC and GC-MS
- Sales, commercial or marketing teams who work with GC and GC-MS components instruments, or services in anyway and would like more in-depth knowledge
If GC and GC-MS touches your work in any way, this well-planned course delivered by experts in the field equips you to understand the science behind these techniques.
