Creating a Successful Method Using Ion Chromatography (LAPTOP REQUIRED)

Participants in this course will learn fundamental concepts in IC instrumentation and ways to optimize chromatographic conditions, selecting the proper column and detector, the use of suppressed and non-suppressed systems, sample preparation options, and basic troubleshooting.

IC has become an important tool for anions, cations, amines, organic acids, and carbohydrates in a variety of industries. This short course will provide a practical introduction to Ion Chromatography and method development. You will leave with a clear understanding of the challenges associated with IC method development based on real world examples. We will emphasize optimization of chromatographic conditions, column and detector selection, sample preparation, and basic troubleshooting. Key regulatory methods using Ion Chromatography from environmental, petrochemical, chemical, power and pharmaceutical analyses will be discussed. Practical approaches are discussed to address the challenges with Ion Chromatography applications.

This course is ideal for lab chemists, technicians, quality control personnel, and lab managers who are new to ion chromatographic analysis, who are involved with method development, or those who need to learn about IC and its common applications.
