Academy Savant has released 'Introduction to HPLC Troubleshooting', the first of a pair of e-learning modules written by John Dolan and Dennis Saunders on HPLC Troubleshooting.
It is now accessible through the Savant website.
This interactive, self-paced course is designed to simplify the process of locating and correcting problems in HPLC systems.
It concentrates on troubleshooting methodology and how to understand the underlying causes, covering typical problems encountered by HPLC users such as: blockages and leaks, component malfunctions, baseline and peak distortions, extra and negative peaks, retention time and sensitivity problems, preventive maintenance and repairs.
An automatically scored quiz, a glossary of HPLC terms and a bibliography are also included.
Special features include animations, simulations and hot words, as well as progress tracking and scorekeeping capabilities.
The customisation capability on the CD edition enables instructors/administrators to augment the basic content.
This e-learning module is available online (as web-based training or WBT) and on CD (computer-based training or CBT).
Licensing ranges from short-term to permanent and the program may be deployed on a single computer (PC or Mac) or a network (LAN/intranet and Learning Management Systems).
An e-learning program that teaches the concepts and practices of troubleshooting HPLC systems is said to make it easy to master the skills of HPLC maintenance and repair.
