Hello,

Can anyone recommend a training course that will teach somebody how to fix and troubleshoot HPLCs?

We have a laboratory in Africa and there are no service engineers to fix instruments. We would like to send a chemist to a course that will instruct them on how to maintain and fix their HPLC.

If anyone has personal knowledge on a course they teach or have attended a quality course on this subject, I would greatly appreciate hearing about it.

Please post/email a web address, company name and title course or any information you can provide.

Thank you kindly.

You need to contact the instrument vendor for maintenance courses (ie pump & autosampler seals etc).

Most chromatography companies offer troubleshooting courses or info on their websites (eg Agilent E-seminars , Restek seminars) and LC.GC have John Dolan's columns on their website. Troubleshooting is very much experience.

Many years ago Chrompack used to do troubleshooting courses in the UK using instruments from many different vendors - does anyone remember those!!!

SeQuant offer a number of courses on different levels with focus on practical aspects.

It would be more cost efficient if we visit you?

Hello to all,

we continue company-independent GC and LC seminars with practice and also troubleshooting seminars in GC and LC. Chrompack (now another company) has discontinued courses,
but we do it in Berlin, Germany: in
English, German, Polish and Russian language.
Please visit : www.sim-gmbh.de ----> seminars

thank you all for your responses so far. I am pursuing additional knowledge on the courses mentioned above.

If there are others, please let me know.

thanks,

Michael
