Innovations in GC that Increase Analytical Capability and Productivity

This webinar discusses novel gas chromatographic techniques and applications with catalysis based, 3D-printed microreactors in conjunction with flame ionization detection.

The successful implementation of this strategy led to a breakthrough in analytical performance by improving detector sensitivity for many classes of organic compounds, such as oxygenated and halogenated compounds. Carbon compound independent response, a new and critical capability based on flame ionization detection, was also realized.

The enhanced capabilities mentioned enabled analytical scientists to deliver more cost-effective and efficient solutions to meet the increasing demand for faster sample throughput, increased accuracy, and reliable results.

Learning Objectives of Webinar

• Learn how recent advances in gas chromatography allow for single-injection quantitation.
• Learn about post-column reaction techniques paired with flame ionization detection for universal response and reduced calibration steps.
• Learn challenging GC applications and practices.
