Our “Theory and Instrumentation of GC - Introduction” eLearning module is now freely available to Lite members until 31st May 2014. Try out the content and find out why CHROMacademy is the first choice in continued professional development for analytical chemists.

This module will introduce you to the origins of gas chromatography and why you would choose GC as an analytical technique for certain applications. A basic overview of the components of a gas chromatograph and their functions is given, along with an outline of the separation mechanism which occurs in GC.

• Identify analytes which are suitable for GC analysis from physicochemical data
• Describe the function of the various components of a gas chromatograph
• Explain the fundamental basis of separation in GC in terms of solubility and vapor pressure of analytes
• Recognize when the use of GC might be applicable to solving analytical problems
