CHROMacademy training

Join us for a little over an hour on this step-by-step guide through setting up an HPLC instrument. Avoid common errors and pitfalls and understand every step of the process to get your instrument set up correctly every time, decrease down-time, and reduce the risk of re-analysis. The HPLC Bootcamp uses video filmed in our lab to ensure you get the most realistic walk through of the instrument.

We developed the CHROMacademy HPLC troubleshooter with busy chromatographers in mind. In 3 simple steps we can help you overcome your instrument, separation, and quantitation issues.

In this module we`re going to take a look at a very common problem in HPLC - extra peaks and contamination. What we`ll see is that these types of problems come from a huge range of potential sources, making the problem much more complex than it often appears, with the associated difficulty in identifying the source of the problem. We`ll look at the main types of contamination, the potential sources, defining the problem and main types of investigational re-analysis. The module is supplemented by real life case study workshops, in which you have a virtual HPLC that allows you to select what additional investigations you`d like to perform.

A standard is a solution of exact and known concentration that we measure to calibrate the response of our instrument/method. Preparing standards for GC creates challenges which risk introducing accuracy errors into our standards due to issues with volatility, concentration, and the complexity of mixtures that are being analyzed. This quick guide details the optimum technique for successfully preparing GC standards.

A step by step guide to setting up a GC instrument. From checking the cylinders, dismantling the inlet, to correctly installing a column and lighting an FID. All before shutting the instrument down correctly. This practical module uses video filmed on a GC instrument in the lab to ensure that you get the most realistic walk through of the instrument; allowing you to correctly setup your instrument every time to get the most from it and decrease down-time by avoiding common mistakes.
