Advanced:
3 Days
Lecture and Hands-on Lab Exercises
Course Overview
Each attendee will receive “Hands-On” experience
with several chromatographs
GC measurements and chemical property analysis
DID GC Components
Advanced chromatography techniques (conditioning for ppb analyses,
optimization of flow circuits, etc.)
Advanced ionization detector theory and practice
Integrator/Computer programming
Self-diagnostics, troubleshooting and adjustments
Difficult analyses - Helium impurities (ppb), H 2 impurities
(ppb), Trace N 2 in argon
Ionization potentials
Automating chromatograms
Computer/GC interface and wiring
Installation and preventive maintenance
Ionization electrometer troubleshooting
Accessories (Hydrogen Separator, Oxy Trap, Helium Purifier,
Leak Detectors)
Flow Systems
Who should attend:
This course is designed for personnel with a solid foundation
in chromatography who need to obtain the maximum performance
from their gas chromatograph. We focus hands on attention
to ionization gas chromatographs (DID - Discharge Ionization
Detector and FID - Flame Ionization Detector). Nevertheless,
many of the advanced principles can apply to other detectors
(TCD, etc.)
Advanced Gas Chromatography training/reference manual with lab
exercises.
Specialty
Gas Mixtures:
3 Days
Lecture and Hands-on Lab Exercises
Mixture calculations (Manual and automated methods)
Cylinder selection (CGA connections, materials, test dates,
etc.)
Pre-fill inspection (DOT requirements, cylinder damage, safety
considerations, etc.)
Cylinder preparation (General and special requirements for
certain gases)
Safety precautions/OSHA/DOT/FDA Issues
Partial pressure fill techniques (Pressure/temp., confirmation,
compressibility adjustments)
Gravimetric fill techniques (mother mixes, base mixes, sample
bombs/loops for ppm mixes)
Post fill procedures
Mixture vs. analytical ranges
Analytical accuracy vs. precision
Scale calibration
Low ppm mixture techniques
Purity considerations for critical mixtures
Who should attend
This course is designed for specialty gas mixture personnel
who need the basics of making SG mixtures. Prior lab experience
is helpful but not required.
What is not covered
This course does not cover fuel/oxidizer mixtures, toxic/corrosive
mixtures or EPA Protocol mixtures. Please contact us for additional
