Chromatography Forum

I'll claim "administrative privilege" here to announce our last "live on the web" course of the year.

If you're an experienced chromatographer, you probably don't need this course. If you have to deal with supervisors, auditors, reviewers, or new hires who aren't experienced chromatographers, then they need this course!

The course is just what the name implies: a thorough overview of the fundamentals of HPLC: how it works, key definitions and terms, and the basics of HPLC equipment and columns. The course is taught in three 2.5-hour sessions (December 9, 11, and 13, 2013) starting at 8:00 am (Pacific Time).

Here's what we'll cover:

Section 1. Overview

• What is HPLC?
  A brief history of HPLC
  From Apparatus to Instrument

Section 2. Instrumentation

• Pumps & Degassing
  Injectors & Autosamplers
  Connecting Tubing & Fittings
  Column Hardware
  Detectors

Section 3. Measurements & Parameters

• Retention
  Selectivity
  Efficiency
  Resolution
  Tailing & Asymmetry

Section 4. It's all about chemistry

• Reversed-phase
  pH & Ion-pair
  Normal-phase & HILIC
  Ion exchange
  Size Exclusion
  What Can Go Wrong?
  Gradients

Section 5. Quantitation

• Integration
  Calibration

Sessions are recorded, so you can review (or catch a missed session). Slides are presented via the internet, with two-way audio via telephone. This is not a "canned" webinar, but a fully interactive, live course.
