One-Day Course\u00a0
<\/strong><\/em>Tuesday, November 15, 8:30am – 5:00pm<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0Dr. Douglas E. Raynie, South Dakota State University, SD
Dr. Merlin K. L. Bicking, ACCTA, Inc., Woodbury, MN<\/p>\n

COURSE DESCRIPTION
<\/span><\/b>Come prepared to learn that sample preparation is more than just a few “low tech” procedures.\u00a0 Learn about the chemical principles behind the techniques, and how an understanding of these principles will produce better results in your laboratory.\u00a0 This course will include a survey of many traditional procedures, including information on recent advances in these techniques.\u00a0 Several new sample preparation technologies will also be introduced.

This is not a “recipe” course limited to a particular sample type or application.\u00a0 This course offers a comprehensive treatment of sample preparation as an important part of every analytical method.\u00a0 You will learn more than just a few manipulations; you will come away with a complete understanding of what sample preparation is and how you can use it!\u00a0 This has been a popular course at EAS for many years, and has been updated to provide you with a good understanding of modern sample preparation.<\/p>\n

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
<\/span><\/b>Analytical chemists from all areas, especially those who want to learn more about sample preparation techniques, including preparation laboratory staff, analysts, and supervisors, will benefit from this course.<\/p>\n

<\/a>ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS
<\/span><\/b>Dr. Douglas E. Raynie <\/b>(Course Director) is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at South Dakota State University.\u00a0 Prior to joining SDSU, he was employed for eleven years as a Senior Scientist at Procter and Gamble’s Corporate Research Division.\u00a0 He earned his Ph.D. at Brigham Young University under the direction of Dr. Milton L. Lee.\u00a0 His undergraduate degree is from Augustana (South Dakota) College, with majors in chemistry and biology.\u00a0 Analytical separations research in Dr. Raynie\u2019s laboratory includes high-resolution chromatography (high-temperature LC and SFC), chromatographic sample preparation (ASE, SFE, SPME, and SPE), chromatography theory, green analytical chemistry, and problem-based learning in analytical chemistry.<\/p>\n

Dr. Merlin K. L. Bicking<\/b> is President, ACCTA, Inc.<\/i>\u00a0 He has extensive analytical chemistry experience in academia, contract research, independent testing laboratories, consulting, and technical training. His professional history includes development of two EPA methods, as well as numerous methods in other regulated and non-regulated industries. His publications and presentations cover a wide range of topics, including liquid chromatography theory, derivatization, method optimization, and the use of experimental design strategies in analytical chemistry. He also develops and presents technical training seminars for analytical laboratory staff, and has been teaching EAS short courses for nearly twenty years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
