What will you learn on this course?

This two day course, run in conjunction with JSB who provide the software, will focus on on the theory and advantages of comprehensive multi-dimensional gas chromatography using either thermal or flow modulation and then you can experience the power of GCxGC(-MS) by analysing and experimenting with some previously acquired data using GC Image software.

This course will cover GCxGC and Zoex GCImage software. The course will give an overview of GC Image software and will detail its fundamental operation including baseline removal, peak (blob) detection, quantification and chemical identification.

This course mixes 50% presentations with 50% practical exercises using the software to get a good grasp of it’s capabilities in processing your GCxGC(-MS) data.
