Applied Maintenance and Troubleshooting for Liquid Chromatography and Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry

Description:
This course has been approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry for purposes of Continuing Professional Development.

The course covers maintenance and troubleshooting for HPLC & LC-MS.

This course looks in detail at the parts of the LC & MS system requiring maintenance, how often and how to identify when maintenance is required. The course goes on to look at preparing for problems, how to identify problems and the troubleshooting process. Participants will then implement the knowledge gained through practical exercises on troubleshooting chromatograms.

The course has a strong focus on the practical information regarding the techniques, with instrument parts and consumables to see and chromatograms to troubleshoot. The knowledge gained can be utilised the instant you return to your lab.
