LCMS Training: A Hands on Approach Kenya July 2019

1 - 5 July 2019, Nairobi, Kenya


Introduction
This new LC-MS course is part of our analytical science training programme, supported by GSK.  It will cover the practical aspects of liquid chromatography, method development, quantitative analysis and spectral interpretation of LC-MS.
We will train more than 400 African scientists by 2020, as well as training Local Trainers to train others, leaving a self-sustaining programme and a lasting legacy.
The Pan Africa Chemistry Network was set up by the ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥appÏÂÔØ to advance the chemical sciences across Africa by building a self-sustaining science base. This expanded analytical science training programme will develop your practical analytical techniques to solve local challenges and contribute to global scientific knowledge.
Applications are invited for the above training course; we welcome applications from researchers, lecturers, technicians, MSc students and PhD students in the chemical sciences from Universities and research institutions across Africa.
The training course will cover the practical aspects of Gas Chromatography, method development, quantitative analysis and spectral interpretation of GC-MS.  This course has been independently verified through peer review and formally approved by ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥appÏÂÔØ to be of high quality and suitable for professional development of chemical scientists.
