West Chester University

Course Description

The course is designed to provide a practical, problem-solving introduction to GC. Students without prior GC experience should gain a working knowledge of techniques, instrumentation and applications. Those with more experience can extend their knowledge in these areas and in discussions of optimization, troubleshooting and newer techniques. The laboratory sessions offer a chance to gain hands-on experience with a variety of GC instrumentations equipped with FID and MS detectors and to put lecture material into practice
