Learn about recent advances in HPLC, GC/MS, and LC/MS systems
and their application to solving problems in organic synthesis,
drug development, proteomics, clinical analysis, environmental analysis,
forensics, fire residue analysis, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

CUSTOMIZE A WORKSHOP

For information about scheduling a workshop customized for your lab staff,
contact Connie Jeffries at (314) 516-5911 or conniej@umsl.edu.

The instructor is Dr. Marvin C. McMaster, UM–St. Louis adjunct professor of Chemistry, consultant, and former technical field sale representative with Waters, Beckman, LDC, Pharmacia, and Teknivent in the St. Louis area.

The first day of the workshop focuses on recent hardware, column chemistry, and interface advances in HPLC, GC, and MS systems. The second day focuses on GC/MS, LC/MS, and LC/MS/MS systems and their application to solving problems in organic synthesis, drug development, proteomics, clinical analysis, environmental analysis, forensics, fire residue analysis, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Both sessions discuss practical techniques for applying and optimizing these systems in your research.

Information and illustrations for the slide sets used in the workshop presentation are drawn from new editions of textbooks published by John Wiley & Sons: HPLC: A Practical User’s Guide, GC/MS: A Practical User’s Guide and LC/MS: A Practical User’s Guide.
