HPLC : Operation, Calibration and Troubleshooting (Workshop) Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
- How to develop a systematic, structured approach to problem-solving and method development for performance, productivity, and reduced costs
- Specifics of a step-by-step process for method validation and for building quality assurance into chromatographic methods
- Case studies using practical examples, developed in small groups
- Method diagnostics, troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance
- The interdependence of methods, sample preparation, instrumentation, columns, detectors, and quantitation
- Implementing good laboratory practices (GLP)
- Sample preparation techniques
- Methods development based on the chemistry and chemical properties of the sample analytes and matrices
Who Should Attend?
Laboratory managers, supervisors, chemists, and technicians working in methods development, R&D, manufacturing/process testing, testing services labs, teaching, QA/QC, analysis, or product testing/development. Chemists, biologists, and engineers involved in organic chemicals, petroleum/petrochemicals, fine chemicals, polymers, environmental, pharmaceutical, forensic sciences, molecular/cellular biology, protein chemistry, foods/flavors/fragrances, occupational health and/or product/process safety testing will benefit.
Course Outlines:
