Anthias Consulting is celebrating the 5th anniversary of its successful 5-day Complete GC and GC-MS course which has received outstanding reviews from its participants since September 2007. The manufacturer-independent course provides a complete training solution enabling you to understand your Gas Chromatograph or GC-MS instrument, develop applications, troubleshoot & maintain it.
Over the past 5 years, over 100 participants have been successfully trained by us. In 2012, the course received an overall rating of 4.8 / 5, with an average of 4.7 / 5 in 4 categories of quality of material, knowledge of the presenter, value for money and location/facilities. The knowledge of the presenters received the highest reviews of 4.9 / 5. This has been represented by the graph below:
What does the course cover?
The first 3 days of the course covers all the practical theory you need to know about gas chromatography and mass spectrometry including: gases and plumbing, sample introduction such as split, splitless, on-column and large volume injection; analytical GC columns; GC detectors and mass selective detectors; data analysis; and sampling techniques like headspace, SPME, pyrolysis, thermal desorption, purge & trap, liquid-liquid and solid phase extraction.
The next 2 days of the course is about how to choose the GC & GC-MS techniques for an application, how to set-up the instrument, how to develop & optimise methods and then finally how to maintain & troubleshoot the instrument, techniques and method. It also takes a brief look at advanced techniques to help solve complex applications including selective discrimination, deconvolution, two-dimensional GC (GC+GC & GCxGC) and chemometrics.
This course is packed full of examples and practical tips, makes full use of props and includes a questions and answers session at the end of each day making it the course to attend for all of your useful GC knowledge.
