What will you learn on this course?
The 4-day Comprehensive GC Training course introduces the fundamental theory of GC along with the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of the Varian/Bruker Gas Chromatograph using Galaxie software.
This course includes an introduction to gas chromatography, Varian/Bruker Galaxie configuration, an introduction to Galaxie, data acquisition and data analysis. It will discuss gas supply and handling; split/splitless and PTV inlets; capillary columns; detectors (FID and ECD); the autosampler; PC & data system; creating methods; integration and reporting; quantitation and calibrations; and sequences. This course also covers troubleshooting and maintenance of the autosampler, inlet, column, detector and data systems.
It combines a mixture of classroom based presentations with hands-on hardware and software lab exercises, to give you comprehensive training.
You can attend all 4 days of the course for a complete training solution. Alternatively you can attend the 2-day Comprehensive GC Hardware (Varian/Bruker GC) course or 2-day Comprehensive GC Software Training (Varian/Bruker Galaxie) course for specific training on hardware or software.
