Advanced Topics In GC
4-Day Course with 12 Hands-on Lab Experiments
I promise that you will leave this course with the knowledge to take on any chromatography challenge.
This class picks up where the popular “GC Fundamentals” and “LC/GC Bootcamp” leave off. Those are not “beginner” classes by any means. They take anyone from beginner to expert in one week. Once you have a firm grasp of those GC fundamentals, you are ready for the advanced GC course which offers more breadth of GC topics…and 12 opportunities to get some hands-on experience with the new topics.
You’ll get to use metal clad columns to run high temperature GC to investigate adulterated olive oils.
You’ll physically convert a GC from helium to hydrogen and see the analysis times get cut in half.
You will learn how to improve your sensitive 2500 fold by injecting 25 uL directly into the GC.
You’ll get to do all of this while having fun…the Axion way!

Have you taken the LC/GC Bootcamp?
The LC/GC Bootcamp is the best chromatography training to start with for most people.
Take the LC/GC Bootcamp first, then either (or both) of the Advanced Topics courses. If you follow that learning path, we promise you will gain technical mastery in both HPLC and GC. You will feel confident knowing you can solve almost any HPLC or GC challenge you face.
