Separation Science, in collaboration with Agilent, offers a series of tutorials aimed at the GC and GC/MS user that form part of the 'GC Learning Hub'. This tutorial goes over some columns, liners and supplies that are critical to achieve optimal performance even for low-trace level analysis and deliver consistent reliable results.
Modules:
- Module 1: Selecting the Correct Liner
- Module 2: Choosing the Correct Column Technology to Maximize Productivity
- Module 3: Application Examples - DB-5ms Inert
- Module 4: Capillary Flow Technology Devices - Why, What, Where & How?
- Module 5: Optimal Conditions for Trace Analysis Using GC/MS and GC/MS/MS
Run Time: 50 minutes
By viewing this tutorial you will learn about ...
- Minimizing downtime and maximizing lifetime and sensitivity with the best supplies
- The What, Why, and How of using Capillary Flow Technology (CFT) devices
- Pre-swaging, installing, leak-checking and using flexible metal ferrules in your GC/MS system for trace level analyses
- Optimal conditions for running GC/MS and GC/MS/MS for trace analyses
- Selecting the right column type for your application.
