The Multidimensional Chromatography (MDC) Workshop draws experts in this exciting field to share and discuss their research.

The Multidimensional Chromatography Workshop

The International Symposium on Chromatography (ISC) represents the oldest conference series focussing on separation science. ISC symposia have been organised since 1956 in each even year. ISC is internationally recognised as one of the premier meeting series for discussion of all modes of chromatography and separation science with a broad coverage of techniques and applications.

International Symposium on Chromatography - (ISC)

In 1936, the Laboratory Equipment Company introduced the first rapid carbon determinator for the American iron and steel industry.  Today, almost 80 years later, LECO is recognized globally as a leader in the development of high-quality analytical instrumentation, mass spectrometers, comprehensive two-dimensional chromatography, metallography & optical equipment as well as consumables.

Gas chromatography is a powerful tool for volatile and semi-volatile species in battery materials, but its application faces significant challenges. Many electrolyte components and degradation products are thermally labile or highly reactive, leading to on-column decomposition and poor quantification.Complex matrices, including salts and additives, cause adsorption, peak tailing, and column fouling, demanding frequent maintenance and careful selection of stationary phases. Moisture and trace impurities from sample handling can obscure low-level analytes critical to performance and safety.This webinar will focus on addressing some of those challenges for successful, repeatable and reliable analysis.<blockquote>Speaker: William Collin (Senior Researcher, General Motors R&amp;D)</blockquote>

We probably have all experienced this at some point when performing gas chromatography and our peak shape begins to appear a bit different. &nbsp;In this webinar, we will discuss some of the most common chromatographic issues that you experience with Gas Chromatography and take a logical approach to finding the root cause and correcting the problem. Often the best way to approach troubleshooting is to also consider what ‘cannot’ cause an issue so that precious time is not spent addressing something that cannot cause the issue. This webinar will arm you with some simple tools, and a different way to look at troubleshooting, should a problem arise.<blockquote>Speaker: Alex Ucci&nbsp;In his current position at Agilent, Alex provides application assistance and technical support for sample preparation products as well as GC and LC consumables.
