WHO Do I Turn To? Chromatography Resources

This webinar will look at available resources to help meet your chromatography needs like:

• Who can help me with method development questions, like what column to choose?
• How can I get help with troubleshooting?
• Where can I find videos to help with my instrument maintenance?
• Is there a forum where I can ask other chromatographers for their input?

We’ll talk about these and other resources to help you be successful.
