Troubleshooting HPLC Systems

May 13-14, 2003

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

Please note: There is not a lab offered with this class this year. This course will be offered again in 2004 with a lab.

 ~ Registration Deadline is April 21, 2003 ~
Class size is limited to 40

Program:  Sessions will begin at 8:00 AM and end at approximately 5:00 PM. Lunch will be provided each day along with morning and afternoon breaks.

Meet the Instructor…

John Dolan is the vice-president and general manager of BASi Northwest Laboratory. John received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Davis in 1976 and has more than 30 years of HPLC experience. After finishing graduate school, he did postdoctoral work at Northeastern University and then joined Technicon Instruments Corporation, where he worked for three years developing clinical HPLC technology. He moved to IBM Instruments, where he was involved in design and support of LC, IR, and UV products. As a columnist for LC/GC magazine, he has written over 200 installments of the “LC Troubleshooting” monthly column since 1983. In 1984, John and Lloyd Snyder founded LC Resources, which offered support to the separations community via teaching, software, consulting, and laboratory services. In 2002, LC Resources was sold to Rheodyne (training and software) and Bioanalytical Systems (laboratory). He continues to teach LC training courses for LC Resources Training Group of Rheodyne and manage the laboratory at BASi Northwest. He has written more than 90 scientific papers on LC theory, instrumentation, and applications as well as a book on troubleshooting LC instruments and methods.
