Morning Workshop: Let's Catch Up on the Latest Science in LCMS

Presenter: John Wright, Ph.D.

Business Development Manager

Agilent Technologies, Inc., USA

Who Should Attend

Anyone performing LCMS or looking to bring mass spectrometry into their laboratory workflows will benefit from this workshop.

Abstract

Historically, many laboratories were challenged to add mass spectrometry to their liquid chromatography workflows due to the complexity of operation, steep learning curve, large instrument footprint, and cost of ownership. Technological, design and manufacturing advancements of modern single quad mass spectrometers have overcome these barriers to adoption, opening access to mass information and facilitating adoption of this analytical technology.  Attend this workshop to learn how mass spectrometers have helped hundreds of laboratories automate and optimize their workflows to save time, money and achieve better outcomes in a variety of research, quality control and production environments.

Afternoon Presentation Workshop: Becoming a Better Gas Chromatographer

Presenter: Eric M. Pavlich

Application Scientist

Agilent Technologies, Inc., USA

Who Should Attend

Anyone interested in enhancing their Gas Chromatography knowledge of Troubleshooting and Optimizing methods.

Abstract

A look into the common challenges experienced by GC users and the steps we can take to diagnose and prevent those challenges.  We will work through the GC flowpath and break down the pitfalls we might face for each area.  After we have figured out how to fix our system, we will continue into ways we can then take our GC to the next level.  Carrier gas, inlet parameters and column selection will all be discussed to get the most from our instrumentation.
