Fundamentals of Ion Chromatography

Training

This is an in-depth course covering the flow path and function of IC systems, routine operation through MagIC Net software and required maintenance for optimal functionality. Our interactive, hands-on training gives you the practice you need to operate your system with confidence. No previous knowledge of ion chromatography instrumentation is required. Recommended within six months of installation or at any time to train a new operator. Hands-on exercises and Q&A sessions help answer your key learning needs

Who should attend?

Those new to ion chromatography, new to Metrohm software and existing users who want a deeper understanding of IC in general. No previous IC experience is required.

What knowledge will you leave with?

A fundamental understanding of IC analysis, how to operate your Metrohm IC system, maintain it and troubleshoot common issues.
