e-learning series of 5 GCMS and 9 GC training sessions covering key principles of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
The sessions include:
1. Introduction to Gas Chromatography (GC/GCMS)
2. Single and Triple quadrupole GCMS techniques
3. Operation, maintenance and troubleshooting
4. Hardware and consumables overview (columns, inlets, injection techniques, GC detecors)
5. Summary session giving an overview of key learning points
6. Data processing and method development

The training sessions are non-vendor specific and are suitable for people with range of experience as well as those with no previous GC/GCMS knowledge. These are fantastic resources for those interested in the benefits of using GC/GCMS as well as anyone who would like to expand their analytical knowledge.
