Event Overview:

Gas chromatography troubleshooting can be cumbersome, time intensive, and expensive if systematic approach is not considered. Identifying the root cause by clearly observing what the chromatogram tells us can lead us to a clear path of resolving the issues. In addition, periodic preventive maintenance can prevent these problems from happening in future. In this webinar, 2 global experts in gas chromatography will bring depth of knowledge of gas chromatography and will provide tips and tricks from their years of experience in gas chromatography.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand what chromatograms tell us and identify root causes of the issue
• Understand systematic troubleshooting and preventive measures for periodic maintenance
• Learn about various case studies, including ghost, baseline issues, and inlet issues, and learn tips and tricks to efficiently resolve

Who Should Attend:

• Chromatographers that are eager to learn troubleshooting essentials
• GC lab users interested in reducing GC downtime and improving lab throughput
• Scientists looking to learn about advanced diagnostics to easily troubleshoot GC methods
  
  

Speakers:

Jaap de Zeeuw
Global Technical Expert
Restek Corporation

Jaap de Zeeuw is a world-renowned chromatographer with over 40 years of experience, including 15 years with Restek and 27 years with Varian/Chrompack prior to joining Restek. Throughout his career, de Zeeuw has focused the chromatographic challenges of industrial analysis. For his 1979 graduation from The Institute for Higher Education, where he specialized in chemistry, de Zeeuw authored a paper titled "The Challenge of Coating Flexible Fused Silica Capillary Columns." Since then, he has distinguished himself as an authority on the subject. de Zeeuw has been directly involved with the creation of numerous chemically bonded columns, including the first bonded PEG column and the stabilized PLOT columns widely used in the petrochemical arena. He has also helped develop new techniques, such as fast GC-MS using vacuum GC technology (low-pressure GC or LPGC). Over his innovative career, he has filed several patents for his work. Based out of the Netherlands, de Zeeuw is extensively published and regularly travels internationally to share his knowledge. After retiring from Restek, he founded CreaVisions, where he works as a GC consultant and teaches master classes on key GC topics and creativity in science.

Chris English
Sr R&D Manager GC Applications
Restek Corporation

Since 2004, Chris English has managed a team of chemists who perform new product testing, method development, and applications work in Restek's innovations laboratory. Before taking the reins of Restek's lab, he spent 7 years as an environmental chemist and was critical to developing Restek’s current line of volatile GC columns. Prior to joining Restek, he operated a variety of gas chromatographic detectors, conducting method development and sample analysis. English holds a BS in environmental science from Saint Michael's College.
