The purpose of this course is to provide training in the fundamental techniques of both gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (HPLC). The course covers: major components of a chromatography; operating principles; application; calibration methods; set-up procedures; preventative maintenance; troubleshooting methods; quantitative methods and failure modes for each, along with practical examples. The course also discusses other aspects such as optimization of column lengths, flows, temperatures and pressure with the necessary theoretical information in each part. The aim of this course is to enrich and advance the skills and knowledge of participants and to teach them chromatography technique operation.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

·         To impart participants with the fundamental techniques and knowledge of chromatography

·         To familiarize participants with the tools and techniques used in chromatography analyses, cause and effect diagrams, calibration and standard analysis methods

·         To provide the skills, knowledge and understanding of principles of chromatography analysis application

·         To use a routine maintenance

·         To impart participants the operation technique

·         To train participants to know how to change and install all chromatography components

·         To be familiar with of the latest analytical methods
