Basic Essentials of GC, Method Development & Headspace Analysis Training Course Amsterdam

>Modular Course This 4-day instrument-independent modular course aims to provide the key essential techniques and approaches to GC and headspace analysis. Ideal for analysts performing volatile and semi-volatile analysis. Composed of the 2-day Basic Essentials of GC, the 1-day Headspace Analysis course and the 1-day Method Development & Troubleshooting GC & GC-MS course. It is also possible to opt to attend just the 2-day Basic Essentials of GC, or only the 1-day Headspace Analysis or 1-day Method development & Troubleshooting for GC & GC-MS course.

>Training package You can also participate in the course modules in Amsterdam as part of our 5-day combined Basic Essentials of GC and GC-MS, Method Development & Troubleshooting or Basic Essentials of GC and GC-MS, Headspace Analysis Training Packages in which you can attend the courses either at one location, or multiple locations throughout the year – see our website.
