Introduction to the Agilent 1100/1200 LC and ChemStation® Software

Can't make it to an off-site course? Have the course come to you!

Improve your lab's efficiency!
Learn to use the instrument and software effectively!

This is our most complete collection of training materials for both HPLC and the Agilent instruments. Call us to take advantage of our many years of experience in training on these instruments.

If you need more detailed assistance with your Agilent HPLC or GC method, visit our Agilent Help page.

The Agilent 1100/1200 HPLC's are great instruments. But if you don't have extensive experience with this equipment design, you can't just unpack it and start using it effectively. You need to know how the instrument is designed, how the software is organized, and how the two work together. If you already have this equipment, you realize that new users in your lab will need some help learning the system.

In the past there was only one option: travel to an off-site course, usually at only one or two sites around the country, and on a fixed date. Now you have another choice: on-site and hands-on training from ACCTA, Inc. in your laboratory on a date that you select.

This four day on-site course gives you all the advantages of an off-site course, but it is at your location, using your instrument. Not only do you save on travel time and costs, but the cost per person is less than what you would spend at an off-site course (including registration and travel). You get the best training from an experienced instructor, without leaving your lab!

Students will learn about:

Design, maintenance, and troubleshooting the 1100 and/or 1200 HPLC.
Basic organization of the ChemStation.
Operation of the HPLC using ChemStation software - learning how to use all the integration, calibration, automation, and reporting features of the software, for versions A.xx and B.xx.
