Chemistry Instruments GC-MS Bootcamp
Issued by
MSU Denver
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is widely used in chemical industries, including toxicology, environmental contaminants analysis, and pharmaceuticals. In this two-day workshop, participants will be offered eight hours of hands-on experience to learn how to operate, troubleshoot, and perform routine maintenance on a GC-MS. By the end of the course, participants will be able to follow a standard operating procedure, create a sequence to run samples, and perform basic data analysis.
