Five Reasons Why You Should Not Miss the
Chicago (Virtual) LC School v2022
- This is one of the few comprehensive LC Courses being offered to the public.
-
The class only takes four hours of each day, so you can continue to do some of your regular work before and after.
- You will never get two days of high-level training for this price again!
- The class is interactive, with lots of time for questions and discussion.
- The content is focused on the practice of HPLC, with only as much theory as you need to know to generate reliable HPLC results.
Course Details

Remote Consulting Becomes Popular
This has been a challenging time for everyone, but several of our customers have found a way to continue improving while limiting in-person contact. We offer the following services in one simple contract.
"Analytical chemistry support services for chemical analysis. Individual project SOWs to be formalized on an individual project basis if necessary, using the fee structure listed below. Topics include, but are not limited to the following areas:
HPLC Method Development
- Develop new procedures as needed for QC or R&D.
- Specify column, mobile phase, operating conditions
- Develop sample preparation procedures for existing or new products
- Specify materials, equipment, and procedures
HPLC Method Optimization
- Update and/or improve existing instrumental methods for new requirements such as
- Lower detection limits
- Additional analytes
- Update and/or improve existing sample preparation procedures for new requirements
- Provide lower detection limits
- Reduce or eliminate interferences
- Reduce problematic contaminants to increase column lifetime
Instrument, Method, and Process Troubleshooting
- Review current and new problems, and propose solutions in concert with local staff
Chromatography Data Reporting
- Design and/or update OpenLab reports to address new requirements
Remote Services
- Most of these services can be provided on a remote basis with the following structure:
- Remote services include phone, email, webex discussions
- Billed in 15 minute minimum increments ($XX/15 min. = $4XX/hour)
- Invoiced the last day of each month.
- Minimum project size is one day (eight hours)"
You can use this time whenever you need it. Some labs use up their time in a few days. Others take a month or more. Use it when you needed.
