November 2019 Pyrolysis and GC/MS Course

By

Lecture and Lab Training on Frontier Lab Pyrolysis Products

Registration is open for the November, 2019 Frontier pyrolysis and GC/MS fundamentals training course.

November 12-15, 2019 in the San Francisco Bay Area

Day 1: GC/MS Fundamentals

Join world renowned professor, author, and mass spectrometry expert, Dr. O. David Sparkman, for an information packed day all about GC/MS and the use of the NIST 17 Mass Spectral Library and AMDIS spectral deconvolution software, which is critical for most pyrolysis GC/MS use.

Day 2-4: Pyrolysis GC/MS

Join Dr. Terry Ramus, application scientist, Rojin Belganeh, Technical Director, and Itsuko Iwai, Research Chemist, for 3 full days of lectures and labs. You’ll learn how to quickly characterize materials, optimize parameters, perform precise quantitation, and maintain your Frontier pyrolyzer for quality results in your lab. Topics include:
  •  Materials Characterization & Method Map
  •  Pyrolysis Demystified
  •  Hardware Overview
  •  Run real samples
  •  Data review tools
  •  Sample Preparation
  •  Method Development
  •  Routine Maintenance
  •  Common Questions
  •  Universal Applications
  •  Advanced Techniques

Class Size*: 3-10

*We require a minimum of 3 attendees or we reserve the right to reschedule the class.  10 is the maximum enrollment.
