This e-Learning course is ideal for anyone who wishes to use HPLC.
It will suit the complete beginner but is also ideal for those who have been using HPLC and would like a more complete understanding of how it works. The important concepts of HPLC are introduced and will enable you to fully understand the following:

·         The different types of HPLC and how they differ;

·         The different types of available HPLC columns and how they differ;

·         Why there are so many different mobile phase components and the ways in which they are combined to effect a chromatographic separation; and

·         How components such as the pump, injector, detector and processor are combined to make a HPLC instrument.

The e-Learning course is delivered using our virtual environment for learning,
e-MTS.

The cost of this course is just GBP £125 (+ VAT where applicable) and includes: access to e-MTS for the training; tutor support for the associated exercises; and a copy of our training book, An Introduction to HPLC for Pharmaceutical Analysis. Watch the video for more information:

A follow up course on application of HPLC for pharmaceutical analysis will be available later this year. This will provide guidance on interpretation of analytical methods, step-by-step instructions for performing analysis and a full discussion of both system suitability testing and quantification methods.

Future courses will include topics such as: HPLC troubleshooting, HPLC analytical method development, and analytical method validation.

How does it work?

The training is equivalent to a full day of training and is made up of the following elements:

1. A series of training videos (totalling over 3 hours where each video is approximately 25 minutes). We have prepared: 'A Brief Guide to HPLC Instruments' as an example. (Note that this video opens in the virtual environment for learning, e-MTS. You will need Flash installed on your computer.)

2. Exercises designed to help you apply your learning. After you complete the exercises for each session you will receive feedback from your personal tutor.

3. An assessment which enables accreditation of the training - It is recognised by the Royal Society of Chemistry for the purposes of Continuing Professional Development.

All you need is access to the internet. There are two options regarding how you complete the training course:

In the first option the training is undertaken over a period of 1 week. You sign up and select a week which suits you. Each day training videos and exercises are uploaded to your virtual classroom which you can watch and submit answers for the exercises. This allows you to access the training materials at a time which suits you within the 24 hour period (you should allow about 90 minutes since there are 2 videos, each of length approximately 25 minutes and the exercises should take about 40 minutes). At the end of each session feedback from your personal tutor and full solutions for the exercises is sent to you by email. The assessment is completed on the last day and a certificate is sent out for your training records.

In the second option you have access to all the training materials for a period of 1 month and you choose times which suit you to watch the videos, and complete the exercises and assessment. You simply let us know whenever you would like feedback on your exercises.

The advantage of on-demand training is that you can fit it in around your work at a time to suit you. iLearn combines the best of scheduled and on-demand training, it may be delivered at set dates over a week long period where you choose the time of day which suits you best to do the training or you can decide when is most convenient over a 1 month period.

MTS also delivers training courses as open enrolment courses and at your site. We provide training consultancy services such as training needs analysis (TNA). Additionally, we offer a range of training products including pre-prepared e-Learning training courses for in-house use and training books on topics relating to chemical analysis of pharmaceuticals.
