Gas Chromatography Training

Several GCs  instruments are available to UND Chemistry students. To setup a training session, contact Dr. Kubatova.

Assignments involve a gas chromatograph with the flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Student will learn basics about the operation of Hewlett Packard (HP 5890) instrument with a split/splitless injector, flow rates, optimization of temperature, and evaluate the repeatability.

Before the start of the lab assignment, student will need to prepare hand-written answers to a take-home test. The excellent resource for the take-home test is Chromacademy GC bootcamp (users need to register for academic access).  In addition, students should have knowledge of the content prior to the lab. The lab takes a minimum of 6 hours but can be broken into several 3 hour sessions.

Assignment Materials

  • Take-home test prior the GC lab
  • GC assignment
  • Manual for the operation of GC instruments in lab 338
  • Video on liner replacement
