Event Overview:
If you work with volatile or trace analysis, are involved in the development of GC methods for samples in low volatility sample matrices, work with dirty sample matrices which could cause contamination of your GC system, or simply want to expand your knowledge of GC sampling techniques, then this is the webcast for you. The CHROMacademy tech team will explain how to use and optimize headspace GC to improve analyte sampling.
Topics Covered:
- Why use headspace GC?
- What types of samples are suitable for headspace GC?
- How does headspace sampling work?
- Strategies for altering analyte solubility and the effect of analytical response
- The anatomy of headspace instrumentation
- Setting and optimizing headspace GC parameters
- Calibration of headspace GC for accurate quantitation
- Purge and trap sampling
