Piercing Precision: Mastering Syringe Techniques in GC

In GC, liquid sample injection may seem simple on the surface; however, it can be a complex process that depends on numerous factors. Choosing the proper syringe and wash solvent, selecting the right autosampler parameters, and knowing how to identify a problem can all ensure the generation of high-quality, consistent data.

This webinar will cover GC syringe anatomy, wash solvent selection, and syringe damage prevention, as well as how these factors relate to problems in chromatography and sample introduction errors.
