Optimize Your Chromatography to Speed Up Your Analysis and Increase Your Throughput

Chromatographic Methods to Speed Up Your Analysis and Increase Your Throughput: A review of chromatography theory with a focus on chromatography principles to make your analysis more efficient and cost effective. A discussion of how column dimensions, stationary phase, carrier gas, and oven temperature affect cost of ownership, efficiency, and resolution. We will also review the Agilent software tools available to help with column selection and GC method optimization.
