1-day "Hands-on" PTV Course

A hands-on course is a one-day course, mixing theory and hands-on practicals in a lab environment. A maximum of 4 delegates can attend to ensure the needs of every individual are met and half of your time will be spent in the lab.

The knowledge you will gain spans both Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry and can be applied to both.

You can mix and match hands-on courses to meet your exact requirements, allowing you to bridge the gaps in knowledge you want to fill.

"Hands-on” Programmable Temperature Vapourisers

This one day course focuses on the added functionalities of PTVs over standard hot inlets as a truly multi-mode inlet. Part of the day will be spent looking at the theory and advantages of cold split and cold splitless injections and the uses for cold-trapping, high final inlet temperatures, large volume injections and additional techniques like thermal desorption and extraction. The remainder of the day will be spent in the lab creating, using and optimising cold injection methods to analyse thermally labile and high molecular weight samples and looking at other PTV techniques.

This course will cover all PTV techniques.

This course requires some knowledge of GC or GC-MS.

Please note: this course will not cover large volume injections in great detail, please refer to the LVI course for more detail on this technique.
