Reliable and Dependable GC Method Development

This presentation will go over building a GC method. We will discuss what to consider, where to start, and what to optimize. To do this we will cover inlet parameters, column selection, and oven programming. This will help you to produce a method that will maximize resolution and minimize run time.
