In 2023, the ACS Subdivision on Chromatography and Separations Chemistry (SCSC) collaborated with LCGC magazine on identifying specific skills that industry hiring managers wanted BS/MS level chemists to know: https://www.chromatographyonline.com/view/what-skills-do-new-analytical-chemistry-employees-need- From there, SCGC teamed up with LCGC and CHROMacademy to build…
A primer for liquid chromatography provided by Agilent Technologies. This publication reviews all aspects of fundamental liquid chromatography (LC). The material covered is similar to might be found in an analytical chemistry textbook. It is especially well-suited for first time users of liquid chromatography. Reviews of fundamental math, instrument design, and method development are included. In…
Designed as a faculty resource on separation science, with a particular emphasis on chromatographic separations. The published materials focus on active learning but may be modified to fit any curricular pedagogy. Materials include a text, sample problems, and an instructor's manual.

This video, distributed on YouTube by the Royal Society of Chemistry is on the basic principles of GC. This video is a short primer (~5 min) which introduces the technique and instrumentation.
There are many assumptions that are made in the presentation of this material, due to the fact the video is meant to be a…
US Environmental Protection Agency site that explains GC for those interested in environmental analysis. Assumes some user background in the field. Includes a partial list of EPA Field Methods that utilize GC which may be helpful to those interested in regulatory protocols.

This site provides a Word document that describes a GC experiment involving the separation and quantitation of four butyl alcohol isomers. It has a complete background about the components of a GC instrument (with labeled pictures) and their functions. It has a section devoted to the measurement of response factors of the detector in…
This site has a series of links to QuickTime movies that animate the chromatographic process. The movies show the effect of changing K, L, and N on peak width and separation. The site is useful in combination with other sources that explain the background theory. The website is available here .
A guide to troubleshooting chromatography problems, especially GC. There is also material on increasing column efficiency and reference material on properties of stationary phases.The website is available here .
This site from TRSL is the main site that links to many animations related to how chromatography systems work. Most of the animations are quite good and would be helpful to students when trying to visualize what occurs in an instrument during an separation (e.g. injection, detection, etc.).
Site does require FLASH to run.
