Automated Derivatization for Gas Chromatography

This webinar demonstrates the power of analyte derivatization to improve gas chromatography performance. Reactions will be highlighted to improve volatility, improve peak shape and quantitative reproducibility, improve selectivity, and specificity with traditional and MS detection. We will also highlight recent technology advances which make a host of derivatization reactions suitable for automation, which enable just in time or unattended operation and which improve reproducibility of derivatization chemistry.

Topics include:

• Benefits of derivatization for dealing with difficult samples for gas chromatography and mass spectrometry
• Benefits which can be derived to deal with less volatile samples, those which produce poor chromatographic response or when sensitivity or specificity need to be improved
• Real life case studies to highlight the benefits of derivatization
• How automation of derivatization reactions is now a real possibility for gas chromatography
