Your essential introduction to gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

Module 1 of the Complete GC & GC-MS and the Practical Essentials of GC & GC-MS course.

Practical Essentials introduction to Gas Chromatography and GC-MS module is approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) for the purposes of Continuing Professional Development (CPD), is a classroom-based course that covers the basic definitions of the components involved in GC and GC-MS, the process of separation and the terminology required to delve deeper into understanding these techniques. Designed for professionals, students and chemists wanting to take the first step to enhancing their GC and GC-MS knowledge.

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 1 training, you will have a necessary overview of GC and GC-MS, giving you:

  • An overview of the GC and GC-MS systems available
  • Clear explanations of the chemistry behind chromatography
  • Understanding of the separation process that occurs during analysis
  • Overview of the various outputs in GC and GC-MS
  • An excellent start to other modules in our Complete GC and GC-MS training
  • A great refresher if you have not worked with GC or GC-MS for a while
Combine other days or modules.

What would I learn?

This module focuses on an introduction to GC and GC-MS, where you will learn:

  • Principles of chromatography and stages of the separation process
  • The information a chromatogram provides
  • What defines a problem analyte
  • How a molecule is analysed by GC and GC-MS through chemical processes

What knowledge will I gain?

By the end of the module, you will:

  • Understand how GC is hyphenated to MS to form a complete technique
  • Know of the various types of GC and GC-MS instrumentation available on the market, such as magnetic sector, Time of Flight (ToF), orbitrap and quadrupole GC-MS
  • Be able to define both GC and GC-MS confidently
  • Comprehend how the mass analyser separates fragments by their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio
  • Be familiar with GC-MS providing 3D data adding m/z to a chromatogram
  • Understand how qualitative analysis provides the answers to ‘what analyte’ is in a sample, whilst quantitative provides the answer to ‘how much analyte is present’

Is this course for me?

This course is designed for anyone who would like an introduction to GC techniques:

  • 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 data
  • Service engineers who want a chemistry focused introduction
  • Sales, commercial or marketing teams who work with GC and GC-MS components, instruments, services or personnel in any way and would like more knowledge

If GC or GC-MS touches your work in any way, this well-planned module, delivered by experts in the field, equips you to understand the science behind these analytical chemistry techniques.
