Practical Essentials of GC and GC-MS sampling and sample preparation techniques

Why should I join Practical Essentials of GC and GC-MS sampling and sample preparation techniques?

Module 8 of the Complete GC & GC-MS and the Practical Essentials of GC & GC-MS courses.

This module covers sampling techniques, where a whole range of sampling, sample preparation techniques and autosamplers that can be coupled to a GC are covered in detail with application examples, including how to select the best technique based on the sample phase and analyte volatility.

Techniques explained include: thermal extraction techniques including thermal desorption (TD) and pyrolysis (Py); VOC analysis including static & dynamic headspace (SHS & DHS) and purge & trap (P&T); solid-phase extraction techniques including solid-phase extraction (SPE), solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) and sorptive extraction techniques; liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) techniques; liquid autosamplers and derivatisation are also discussed.

What would I learn on Practical Essentials of GC and GC-MS sampling and sample preparation techniques?

You will learn how to select the most suitable technique(s) for your application.
You will learn the different sampling techniques and their parameters for GC analysis.

Is this course for me?

If you have limited GC experience, wish to learn more or would like to brush-up on your knowledge about this particular stage of the sample analysis process then this is the module for you.

Feedback from previous attendees

“It is great all about different sampling and sampling preparation techniques in a structured way. I particularly enjoy the part of solid-phase sampling techniques. Diane gave an overview of all the solid phase sampling techniques, also the theory behind and how to apply. Her rich knowledge and experience add to another layer of understanding of these techniques, especially in the Q&A session.” July 2020
