Plunge Deep into the World of Syringes: Simplifying GC Syringes and Sample Introduction

In gas chromatography, liquid sample injection may seem simple on the surface, however it can be a complex process dependent on numerous factors. Choosing the proper syringe and wash solvent, selecting the right autosampler parameters, and knowing how to identify a problem all ensure the generation of high quality, consistent data. This webinar will cover the anatomy of a GC syringe, selection of wash solvents, preventing syringe damage and how these things relate to problematic chromatography and sample introduction errors.
