Information
This course has been approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry for purposes of Continuing Professional Development. It examines the method development process for GC and GC-MS in detail, covering first the objectives of the analytical method and how to plan the method development process from start to finish. Next the parameters that can be optimised and the order in which to optimise them is covered. The course then provides an introduction to method performance, looking at system validation protocols and how to validate the method, along with a final summary of method accreditation. Participants will consolidate their knowledge gained through practical method development case studies. Overall, there is a strong emphasis on the practical aspects of GC and GC-MS which can be applied to the instruments in your lab.

Learning Objective
You will learn strategies for method development.
You will learn how to optimise for sensitivity or to reduce carryover.
You will learn how to break the method down into tasks.
You will learn about the parameters and how to optimise them for each method task.
Course Outline
The course provides strategies for method development from research and planning, to the steps and parameters to consider at each stage of analysis, and how to optimise the parameters for each step. The course will cover:
Objectives of the method & research and planning
Autosamplers & automated sample preparation - how do I get my sample into GC?
Carrier gases and flow - how do I transport my sample into GC?
Sample introduction - how do I transfer my sample into column?
Separation & stationary phases - how do I choose my column?
Detection - how do I detect my analytes?
Sampling processes (blanks, spikes)
Getting stuck - strategies
Introduction to method performance
Instrument qualification & system validation
Introduction to accreditation
Target Audience
This course is for those with good knowledge of gas chromatography and gas chromatography mass
spectrometry and would like to learn in detail about the method development process.
