Date/Time:	May 14-15, 2002
Location:	Earle Brown Heritage Center Brooklyn Park

This popular 1-1/2 day course returns to MCF to help build the HPLC troubleshooting skills of the participants. The first day is spent in the classroom, reviewing all aspects of HPLC equipment operation and maintenance. Time is spent to help improve the understanding of the separation process and many practical examples are used to help attendees develop skills to identify and correct problems with chromatographic separations. Each participant will receive a workbook containing all the slides and notes presented in the course. Ample time is available for discussion of specific problems that users bring to the class. The morning of the second day is spent in a round robin workshop with several equipment vendors. Each vendor will present a troubleshooting tool or technique to a small group of students to help reinforce material covered in the classroom session.

Students with a working knowledge of HPLC with some hands-on experience will benefit most from this course.
