TRAINING COURSE

How to Troubleshoot HPLC

This course on HPLC troubleshooting will demystify your HPLC instrument so that you can use your knowledge and understanding to interpret symptoms and thus diagnose problems, and also introduce effective preventative measures.

Synopsis

Learn how to find solutions for problems encountered when running HPLC analysis by diagnosing symptoms and implementing appropriate preventative measures.

The course will enable you to go back to your lab with a full understanding of why problems may arise with your HPLC system and give you the skills and knowledge to both prevent and resolve those problems.

Attendees are invited to bring along any real life examples that they would like advice on during the training. These may be discussed during group exercises, or, where intellectual property is an issue, privately with the trainer.
