About this Event
This course offers a well-designed combination of lecture and hands-on laboratory training. Students gain sufficient theoretical and practical background to perform independent work in liquid chromatography.
The three day course encompasses all major areas of liquid chromatography and related sample preparation techniques likely to be encountered by workers practicing in the field.
Experts active in the field of liquid chromatography lead the course and laboratory sessions.
A full day of intensive laboratory experiments gives the students, working as small teams, invaluable hands-on experience.
The latest high performance UHPLC/HPLC equipment, supplied by leading manufacturers, comprise the chromatographic instrumentation for students to use during the lab sessions. Technical experts from the various companies will guide students through the operation of the system.
