Workshops
Below you'll find details of the workshops running alongside Separation Science 2017, and how to register for them:
Fundamentals of Sample Preparation for Chromatography
When: 31 October, 2017 (9am-5pm)
Price: US$ 575
Presenter: Ronald E. Majors
This short course will provide an overview of important sample preparation techniques used for the analysis of gas-, liquid-, solid– and semi-solid matrices. The approach will be to discuss basic principles of common techniques such as Liquid-Liquid Extraction, Solid-Phase Extraction, Solid-Phase Microextraction, as well as more advanced technologies such as pressurized-fluid extraction, QuEChERS, supported-liquid extraction, enhanced matrix removal and membrane-based extraction procedures.
Modern HPLC/UHPLC for Practising Scientists
When: 30-31 October, 2017 (9am-5pm)
Price: US$ 875 (for both days) or US$ 575 (for either day individually)
Presenter: Michael Dong
This intermediate 2-day workshop will provide the analytical scientist with a clearer understanding and a solid working knowledge of the concepts, instrumentation, columns, pharmaceutical applications and practices (method development, HPLC operation and troubleshooting) of modern HPLC and UHPLC (ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography). The focus is on its practice in pharmaceutical analysis of small molecule drug substances and drug products.
Bioanalytical LC/MS: Fundamentals and Applications
When: 30-31 October, 2017 (9am-5pm)
Price: US$ 975
Presenter: Frederick Klink
This two-day, comprehensive overview course provides attendees with relevant, practical approaches that can be immediately applied in the lab. The theory of mass spectrometry and HPLC interfaces is presented to the extent necessary to understand operation of instruments but the real focus of this class is improving your ability to use LC/MS on a daily basis for various types of biological samples.
Practical GC-MS: Troubleshooting Instrumentation and Data Interpretation
When: 30-31 October, 2017 (9am-5pm)
Price: US$ 975
Presenter: John Langley
This two-day course provides attendees with relevant, practical approaches that can be immediately applied in the lab. The objective of this workshop is to build on existing knowledge and GC-MS skills and to enhance your problem solving abilities with respect to instrument operation and data processing and interpretation.
