This course covers all the essential knowledge and practice to start developing methods and analysing samples using pyrolysis. The course covers the theory, method development, optimisation, maintenance and troubleshooting of the technique by mixing presentations with lab exercises. These hands-on courses are 50% theory and 50% practical in a lab environment, with a small group size of a maximum of 4 delegates.
This 1-day course is Day 4 of the Hands-on Sample Preparation course. You will learn the theory behind the different pyrolysis techniques and then put this knowledge into practice in the laboratory creating pyrolysis methods, analysing samples and changing pyrolysis parameters to review the effects on the results. We cover analytical pyrolysis, identifying samples that can be analysed, types of pyrolysis, instrumentation & set-up, along with maintenance and troubleshooting.
At the end of the course you will have gained both knowledge and experience of using the technique with a GC or GC-MS to analyse samples, optimise method parameters and perform instrument set-up, maintenance and troubleshooting.
You must have good knowledge of GC or GC-MS or have attended the Complete GC & GC-MS or the Hands-on GC & GC-MS courses.
Additional infoIncludes: lunch and refreshments; hardcopy of the training manual in colour; any instrument parts & consumables used; certificate of attendance.
