What will you learn on this course?
This one day course is a part of the Hands-on Sample Preparation course and is spent learning the theory of static and dynamic headspace and how to modify samples to improve results, then using this knowledge to create HS methods, analyse samples and experiment with parameters to see the effects. This course will cover static and dynamic headspace.
