Capillary Electrophoresis

PACS Course Number 290

9 AM to 5 PM

Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) is a fast emerging technology in chromatography. CE can help solve a wide variety of problems. In this 2-day course you can quickly gain an understanding of the use and applications of CE. Our course is designed to be a practical training experience, therefore theoretical and mathematical treatment is minimized. The course is designed for those with little or no experience in CE analysis as well as those who want to increase their knowledge and skill level in the areas of method development and validation. Individuals with 1-2 years of prior CE experience benefit from this course. By the end of this course, you will have full confidence in setting up the instrument, and analyzing your samples using capillary electrophoresis. You will also have a clear idea on how to proceed with: instrument selection, purchase, what CE can and cannot do for you, method development and validation, chiral separations, MEKC separations, troubleshooting, and use of available literature.

This is a practical course covering the basic principles of capillary elecrophoresis. Fundamental concepts, experimental approaches, practical applications, and instrumentation will be covered. The highly qualified course director, Dr. John M. Allen has provided a course outline.
