It’s Peak Season for Great Peak Shape: Tips and Tricks on Troubleshooting GC Chromatography

We probably have all experienced this at some point when performing gas chromatography and our peak shape begins to appear a bit different. In this webinar, we will discuss some of the most common chromatographic issues that you experience with Gas Chromatography and take a logical approach to finding the root cause and correcting the problem.

Often the best way to approach troubleshooting is to also consider what ‘cannot’ cause an issue so that precious time is not spent addressing something that cannot cause the issue. This webinar will arm you with some simple tools, and a different way to look at troubleshooting, should a problem arise.
