Analytical Chromatography of Small Molecules: Practical Skills Development Workshop (11 th – 16 th April 2011) Chromatography is well-established analytical technique for qualitative and quantitative assays of complex samples. It found applications in almost every field from pharmaceutical to biological fluids. Chromatography evolved from paper (visual detection) to today’s micro/capillary chromatography (Mass Spec and NMR detection). The coupling of chromatographic science with PC based software has revolutionized the analysis by modern equipments. Training of such equipments is however required to generate useful data especially in the disciplines which do not cover analytical chemistry as ‘course’ in basic education. This workshop will focus on basic theory followed by hands-on experiments and exercises on liquid and gas chromatography. Participants will be trained about Do’s and Don’ts, maintenance and method development procedures on both techniques. Applications of liquid chromatography in pharmaceutical and food analysis along with sample preparation will be used as models for training. Gas chromatography of oil/fat and pesticide determination along with sample preparation techniques will serve as model assay procedures. Who should attend? Fresh graduates, technicians, faculty members from natural and life sciences or pharmacy What will you learn? • Basic theory of chromatographic separations • What makes a Chromatograph • Selecting chromatographic technique for your application • Selecting working mode of GC or HPLC • How to identify and quantify compounds • Tips to achieve optimum separations • Sample preparation for chromatographic separations • Liquid chromatography of pharmaceutical compounds and plant phenolics • Gas chromatography of oils, fats and pesticides Trainers Prof. Dr. Muhammad Iqbal Bhanger, Dr. Najma Memon, Dr. Farah Naz Talpur Registration deadline 30 March 2011 Workshop fee * Rs.7500/= per candidate Timings 9.30 a.m.- 4.30 p.m. * (Inclusive of shared accommodation, lunches and tea during sessions, certificates and printed material) Venue National Centre of Excellence in Analytical Chemistry, University of Sindh, Jamshoro, Sindh For registration and further details, please visit our website www.ceacsu.edu.pk or contact Dr. Najma Memon/ Dr. Farah N.
