GCxGC Workshop

GCxGC One Day Workshop 

Why Attend? 

This workshop is intended for chromatographers with a solid foundation in GC-MS who are looking to build their expertise in GCxGC. Participants should be familiar with retention indices, peak capacity, and mass spectrometry fragmentation, allowing the workshop to focus entirely on GCxGC-specific principles and workflows.
