Unlocking the Mystery of GC Inlets

Conducted by Joseph M. Levy

Part I    May 16, 2007
Part II    May 30, 2007
 

Do you really know how GC inlets work?
Did you know that most problems begin in the GC inlet?
Did you know that you can make a GC injection and not have a solvent peak?
Can you effectively diagnose a problem with your GC just by looking at your chromatogram? 

These are important questions that can really impact the way we do GC when we find out the answers!  This series of seminars will provide these answers and give you insight into the operational and practical background behind some of the best kept secrets in the world of GC.

The sessions will cover the practical aspects and issues of the most common forms of GC injection; split and delayed split for capillary columns and direct injections for packed columns.  The discussions will also focus on the less known form of GC injection into programmable temperature vaporizing (PTV) inlets.  Moreover, headspace sampling will be presented as a selective and sensitive form of injection of a tremendous variety of liquid and solid samples into GC. 

Session One (Part I) will focus on the most common forms of GC injection into capillary columns for liquids: split and delayed split injection. This will include theory of operation, typical pitfalls and preventative maintenance with troubleshooting. Discussion will also focus on proper injection geometry to maintain quantitative and precise injections of nonpolar and polar solvent based mixtures.

Session Two (Part II) will focus a discussion on GC inlets with a less common type of injection into capillary columns for liquids, namely for PTV (programmable temperature vaporizing) inlets. Moreover, the focus will also be on the injection of gases into GC packed and capillary columns using direct packed column inlets and headspace sampling. This will include theory of operation, typical pitfalls and preventative maintenance with troubleshooting.

The instructor for these audio seminars is Joseph M. Levy, PhD.   He has over 27 years as a practicing gas chromatographer, analytical chemist and trainer, and has lectured all over the world with training seminars, workshops and invited presentations.

Joseph M. Levy, Ph.D.

Dr. Joseph M. Levy is the president and principal scientist of LevyTech, a GC, sample preparation, and analytical chemistry consulting and training company he founded in 1995.  He has over 27 years as a practicing gas chromatographer, analytical chemist and trainer. Dr. Levy has published over 85 papers on a wide variety of analytical topics, including gas chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) applications, method development and optimization, and sample preparation like headspace sampling. He has lectured all over the world with training seminars, workshops and invited presentations. 

Dr. Levy actively provides consulting services across many industries on a diverse range of topics, including GC and headspace training, method development and optimization; troubleshooting and maintenance; research and development projects; and method review and validation.  He has held positions with the British Petroleum (formerly known as the Standard Oil Company) and Suprex Corporation.  He holds a B.S. in Chemistry from Cleveland State University, M.S. in Organic Chemistry and a M.S. in Analytical Chemistry both from Case Western Reserve University and a Ph.D. in Physical and Analytical Chemistry also from Case Western Reserve University.
