Benefits

High Performance Liquid Chromatography has become the critical analytical tool in a great many laboratories. Its ability to generate accurate and reliable results in a timely fashion has propelled it into the forefront of essential equipment. It is imperative that methods and equipment work well, and when they do not, the cause must be found and fixed quickly. Individuals working with HPLC in QA/QC, Research, and Process Monitoring Labs within Pharmaceutical, Biological, Clinical, Chemical, Forensics, Agricultural, Foods/Feeds/Flavors Organizations and related areas , who want to become more productive, less frustrated plus improve their skills in HPLC, will find no better course than this.

This new and totally up-to-date course is non-commercial (no sales pitches like some other courses), practical, and enjoyable. It is geared for beginning to intermediate levels of HPLC experience. The attendee will gain an understanding of the underlying causes for the many kinds of problems which are frequently encountered during the course of HPLC operation. Many examples are provided along with the most efficient method of ascertaining the root cause and the best means to resolve chromatographic and hardware troubles.Come see why our courses are rated "the best" year after year!
