GC Learning Hub: Getting Better GC/MS Results for Maximizing Productivity in High-throughput Labs

by | Jun 23, 2022

Access this tutorial and discover some simple strategies to speed up analyses with method translator and to help maintain a healthy GC (MS) system longer.

Agilent_GCHub_Splash_230420Separation 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'. In this tutorial you will learn some simple strategies to speed up analyses with method translator and to help maintain a healthy GC (MS) system longer. These strategies include how using self-tightening column nuts can help maintain a leak free system, and how backflushing can stop heavier compounds from reaching your mass spec.

Modules: 

  • Module 1:Maximize Your Throughput with Fritted Liners
  • Module 2: Choosing the Right GC Column to Maximize Productivity
  • Module 3: Increase Throughput with Capillary Column Backflush and Jet Clean
  • Module 4: Make Installation Faster with Self-tightening Nuts
  • Module 5: Smart GCs and Consumables

Run Time: 40 minutes

By viewing this tutorial you will learn about ...

  • The best columns for GC-MS analysis and how to convert to narrower bore for faster analysis
  • Setting up your GC (MS) system for success with the optimal supplies, tools, and strategies for running faster analyses and maintaining a clean system for as long as possible.
