What will you learn on this course?

This course begins with the theory of thermal desorption, types of samples that can be analysed using this technique, types of tube packing materials and how to collect samples. This knowledge is then used to create TD methods, collect and analyse samples and experiment with parameters to see the effects.

This course will cover the thermal desorption of gas-phase and solid-phase samples.

Learning outcomes

  • You will learn about and gain practical experience of how to use TD as an automated sample preparation technique for GC & GC-MS in great detail
  • You will learn the fundamental theory of TD
  • You will learn about the types of samples that can be analysed using TD
  • You will learn about and gain practical experience of the various parameters that can be optimised for the technique to improve method robustness and sensitivity
  • You will set up and maintain the technique on a live instrument
  • You will learn about the individual steps and processes of TD analysis
  • You will learn the frequent maintenance and common troubleshooting problems in TD analysis
  • You will learn TD tips and tricks
  • You will learn about the benefits of using TD in the analysis of your samples

Who is this course for?

This course requires good knowledge of GC or GC-MS.
