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'. In this tutorial you will learn how to return your system to peak performance through the use of good maintenance practices, smart tools, and the best consumables to match your analysis for overall improved productivity.
Modules:
- Module 1: Considerations for Returning Your GC System to Peak Performance
- Module 2: Check Points for Ensuring Your GC System is Fully Optimized
- Module 3: Application Examples - PAH Analysis Using Smart Key
- Module 4: Get the Most Out of Your Mass Spectrometry
Run Time: 50 minutes
By viewing this tutorial you will learn about ...
- Maintaining the GC, MS, carrier gas and rough pumps to maintain (or gain) performance of the GC (and GC/MS) system.
- How to set-up your GC(MS) system for success with the optimal supplies and parameters to match the analysis.
