What will you learn on this course?
Module 4 of the Practical Essentials of Sample Preparation course.
This course is spent learning the theory behind Solid-Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME), how to modify samples to improve results, how to create SPME methods, analyse samples and the parameters which can be optimised. This course will cover Headspace-SPME and Immersion-SPME, SPME phases, SPME instrumentation & set up, maintenance and troubleshooting. It will introduce related techniques like SBSE, SPE-TD and SPDE.
