Chromatography

Gas chromatography analysis

No items found.

Deepen understanding of the principles of gas chromatography (GC). Explore the factors which affect elution during GC analysis and decide the best way to prepare a sample for GC analysis depending on the situation. Finally, apply your knowledge to a method development scenario.
