COURSE OVERVIEW:

The meaning of this course is the attainment of expert-level proficiency in the operation and management of Agilent chromatography platforms, including the 1200/1260/1290 LC series and 7890/8890 GC series. As a global leader in analytical hardware, Agilent systems possess unique architectural features and software capabilities that require specialized knowledge to fully exploit. This course moves beyond basic operation to explore the deep configuration and optimization of these industry-standard instruments.

The scope of the training involves a comprehensive study of the Agilent OpenLab and ChemStation software environments, focusing on advanced data processing, automation, and compliance features. It covers the intricacies of Agilent-specific hardware, such as Jet Weaver mixers, multisamplers with dual-needle technology, and the maintenance of EPC (Electronic Pneumatic Control) modules. By mastering the hardware-software interface, participants will be able to achieve superior resolution, faster run times, and enhanced sensitivity.

The coverage includes detailed troubleshooting of Agilent systems, from diagnosing leak rates to resolving communication errors in the instrument control framework. Participants will learn how to implement "Intelligent Reporting," manage large spectral databases, and perform advanced hardware diagnostics using the Lab Advisor tool. This course ensures that laboratories equipped with Agilent technology can maximize their return on investment through optimized performance and minimized downtime.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Configure Agilent LC and GC hardware for maximum analytical performance.
• Master the advanced features of OpenLab CDS for data acquisition and processing.
• Optimize Agilent-specific components like Jet Weaver mixers and EPC modules.
• Perform high-level troubleshooting using Agilent Lab Advisor software.
• Implement rapid-resolution liquid chromatography (RRLC) on Agilent platforms.
• Design automated sample preparation sequences using the Agilent Multisampler.
• Manage the integration of diverse Agilent detectors into a unified workflow.
• Execute precise hardware calibration and maintenance protocols.
• Utilize Agilent's Intelligent Reporting to create custom data summaries.
• Troubleshoot communication and configuration issues in the CDS environment.
• Implement 21 CFR Part 11 compliance features within Agilent software.
• Develop optimized methods that leverage Agilent's unique pump and inlet designs.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Experienced Chromatographers, Laboratory Instrument Specialists, and Analytical Chemists who primarily utilize Agilent LC, GC, and CDS systems.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
