This Month's Less Stress Solutions

Learning Chromatography the Correct Way
I often discuss laboratory procedures with students when we are in the training lab.  Many times students are asking about some common practice in their own laboratory.  When I ask why they do things a certain way, the most common answer is either "that is the way we have always done it" or "that is the way I was taught."  Many labs have procedures that may have been correct 20 years ago, or in a different situation, but now those same procedures are either not necessary, not efficient, or just wrong! 

Many lab staff learn their chromatography this way - in the lab.  Some labs do a good job of training their staff, some do not.  If you are not sure if you are using the best procedures in your lab, contact us for a private presentation of our most practical webinar.

If you are struggling with your HPLC systems, this presentation may have some answers for you.  The content is based on problems and practices that we see when we visit laboratories.  Turn your "Bad Practices" into "Best Practices" in less than two hours!
