Webinar Announcement - Strategies for GC-MS Method Development on 8th May 2013

Join us for 1-hour webinar is aimed at analysts with a good understanding of GC-MS on 8th May 2013. The webinar will work through planning the GC-MS method development and then focus on the different parameters themselves, where to start, how to choose initial parameters and then how to progress the optimisation. The webinar, organised by our partners at Separation Science, will be presented by the Director and Senior Consultant of Anthias Consulting, Diane Turner.

Dates: 8th May 2013
Time: 06.00 BST / 07.00 CET / 13.00 Singapore
Sponsor: Agilent Technologies Ltd

What will you gain from this course?
You will get a good overview of the individual areas of a GC-MS you need to think about when developing a GC-MS method. This will start with thinking about your sample, choosing the best techniques and then optimising them. This webinar will provide you with a solid plan to go back to your lab and start developing your GC-MS method.

What does it cover?

  • What is the sample and matrix?
  • What types of compounds are to be analysed and at what approximate concentration?
  • How much matrix is there and is sample preparation needed?
  • How do you go about getting the sample into the GC?
  • How do you to transfer the sample from the inlet onto the column?
  • How do you select the stationary phase and separation parameters?
  • How are the neutral molecules transferred to the MS without chromatographic resolution degradation?
  • Where do you start with the mass spectrometer parameters?
  • How will you ionise your analytes?
  • How much analytical selectivity is needed in your mass analyser and what are the techniques to achieve this?
  • What parameters need optimising to separate the masses?
  • How do you optimise the detector to achieve the sensitivity required?

NOTE: All registrants will be sent a link to the recorded version shortly after the live event; therefore, if the time of broadcast is not convenient you will not miss out.

Who should attend?
This webinar is aimed at analysts with a good understanding of GC-MS, as the techniques discussed will not be described in great detail. This webinar is ideal for those who have been using a GC-MS but have not been greatly involved in method development or who would like a refresher or different perspective of GC-MS method development.
