Gas Chromatography: Fundamentals, Troubleshooting and Method Development
Course Description
Majority of modern instruments in the laboratory is computerized and provide incredible amounts of data. Methods that take advantage of the flood of data are now available by applying statistics which is the science of collecting, analyzing and interpreting data, facts can be established and a solid knowledge about the system and its processes can be obtained. This course designed to improve performance of lab staff for chemical testing with Gas Chromatography (GC) include method development and method validation to improvement this measurement methods of analysis.

The course is of interest for any person working in any analytical laboratory. Laboratory staff, Chemists, supervisors and technicians.
