Analytical chemistry training: chromatography specialization (HPLC, GC)

The reliability of an analytical result depends on mastering every step: sample preparation, method selection, instrument settings, data acquisition and chromatogram interpretation. An analytical chemistry training course enables your teams to consolidate their practices through HPLC training and GC, helping them better identify the parameters that influence separation, detection and result quality. This skills development meets the needs of quality control, R&D, production and analytical development departments.

HPLC training may cover the role of the stationary and mobile phases, retention mechanisms, the elution gradient, solution preparation, degassing, detection wavelength selection and the analysis of the main chromatographic defects. The objective is to link instrument parameters to resolution, peak symmetry and analysis repeatability.

Training sessions combine theoretical instruction, demonstrations and practical exercises tailored to the subject covered. They address the key stages of a chromatographic analysis: sample preparation, solvent preparation, sequence setup, monitoring of analytical conditions and data acquisition.

The Filab laboratory supports industrial companies in developing their analytical chemistry skills. The training is prepared based on your objectives, technical environment and participants’ profiles. It promotes a practical understanding of the interactions between the matrix, chromatographic method, equipment and data processing.

At the Filab laboratory, chromatography training focuses on the challenges encountered in industrial environments. The content may cover the principles of high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography, mobile phase preparation, column selection, injection parameters, peak integration and critical evaluation of results. To complete this learning pathway, discover our liquid chromatography training and GC-MS pyrolysis training.

GC training may cover capillary column selection, vaporization conditions, oven temperature programming, carrier gas, injection modes and detection principles. Participants learn to interpret a chromatogram, recognize separation anomalies and adjust method parameters in accordance with applicable procedures.

Result processing focuses in particular on reading chromatograms, identifying retention times, evaluating peak separation, checking the consistency of integrations and ensuring the traceability of observations. This approach helps participants adopt a rigorous process when analyzing results and investigating deviations.

Beyond instrument settings, the training aims to strengthen the essential reflexes required for controlled practice: applying a method, documenting operations, detecting drift, analyzing anomalies, and communicating actionable results. Depending on your needs, it can form part of a broader training program including an ICH Q6B training course or an ATG technical training course.

To prepare your project, it is useful to specify the number and skill level of participants, the techniques involved, the methods or matrices to be covered, the difficulties encountered, and the expected skills. The Filab laboratory can then discuss your needs with you in order to structure a program aligned with your operational priorities.
