High Performance Liquid Chromatography
About
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is an essential analytical tool used in many industrial settings that enables the chemical identification and quantification of specific molecular components in mixtures required for QA and QC protocols. Learners in this micro-credential will have the opportunity to master the applied laboratory skills needed to operate a High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC) system. Students will learn through hands-on experience with an HPLC instrument, how to maintain the system, run samples, and analyze data.
The micro-credential program is suitable for recent high school graduates who have completed at least one post-secondary chemistry course, as well as individuals that have completed the Applied Analytical Laboratory Skills micro credential program at Langara College.
Students will learn how to set up and operate an HPLC instrument, utilize Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to plan and perform sampling runs, learn effective records management, and apply privacy and data security principles including respect of Indigenous data sovereignty.
The High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) micro-credential ladders on top of the Applied Analytical Laboratory Skills micro-credential and consists of three stackable microcourses. Prior learning assessment based on workplace experience is available for applicants who are already employed in a related field and want to enhance their skill set.
