Absolute Basics of GC & GC-MS

This course teaches the fundamentals of gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Attendees will gain a firm foundation in these techniques by learning about the instrumentation used, how the separation process occurs and gaining an overview of the function and operation of each component of the instrument. The types of samples which can be analysed are covered, along with the different sampling techniques available and considerations when preparing samples. Beyond the instrumentation, the course discusses why the technique is used and the answers it can give, looking at qualitative and quantitative data analysis, to give you a full picture. Who is this course for? This course is ideal either as stand-alone or prior to attending the Practical Essentials of GC & GC-MS, Complete GC & GC-MS, Hands-on GC & GC-MS or one of our manufacturer-specific Comprehensive courses.
