webcast iconVIEW RELATED ON DEMAND WEBCAST
This month, Tony Taylor (Technical Director, Crawford Scientific) and John Hinshaw (CHROMacademy, GC Department Dean), present the second in our series on GC Hardware Troubleshooting. In this session, we discuss practical troubleshooting and maintenance information around capillary GC Colums and common GC detectors. We consider common hardware issues, methods for quickly identifying problems and methods to fix the issues. All issues are illustrated with real life examples and we build a routine preventative maintenance schedule throughout the Tutorial and Accompanying webcast.
