Abstract:
Gas Chromatography (GC) is one of the world's most popular analytical tools, yet very few people understand how it works. Anyone can push buttons, but most analysts are not quite sure why they are pushing the buttons. During this talk, we will unveil all of those mysteries and get you to understand how the underlying technology works. The best kept secret is that GC is totally understandable. By the end of this short course, not only will you understand how GC works, but you will also be very comfortable developing a GC method from scratch, including choosing the correct column length, diameter, film thickness, stationary phase, flow rate, inlet, detector, etc.
