Troubleshooting GC Separations Part I - Retention Time, Efficiency, and Peak Shape Issues

This webcast presents practical troubleshooting tips for GC separations, with special emphasis on retention time variability, loss of efficiency, and poor peak shape. The session includes a wealth of practical information on GC separation issues and all our real world problems are related to both separation chemistry and hardware issues. We consider the common problems and highlight causes and remedial actions in a very practically relevant way. A must see for everyone working with GC instruments.

Topics include:

Causes of retention time variability in GC including carrier and injection issues
Investigate tailing, fronting, and shouldering peak behaviors – identify the major causes and learn practical remedies for the problem
Loss of efficiency in capillary GC - identify the major causes, including injection and column related issues
Identify problems and investigate the root cause
Build up a portfolio of preventative and corrective maintenance operations
