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 complete textbook for Quantitative Analysis is freely downloadable. Teach yourself Analytical Chemistry, or be part of a class on the subject.
The website is available here .
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…
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…
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.
The website is available…
This chromatography experiment is designed to introduce students to the theory of chromatographic separation of mixtures and packed column chromatography. A section on instrument troubleshooting may be included as an additional optional activity.
The website is available here .
This site contains a good review of GC detectors that is linked to animated files describing the hardware and principles of operation for GC/MS. From this site, links are available to other animations about a variety of analytical topics.

This EPA site provides a brief overview of EPA remediation methods and projects. The links "Remediation" and "Characterization and Monitoring" have sub-links that provide analytically relevant materials. Many applications and case-specific studies are presented. Many of the links are related to sampling statistics.The website is available here .
Downloadable animations and movies for analytical instruments and processes. Formats in QuickTime, GIF animations, and Flash animations.The website is available here .
