- Types of equilibria used in chromatographic separations and the corresponding stationary phases.
- Instrumental and practical aspects including sample injection, columns and detectors.
- Optimization of separations including choice of mobile and stationary phase, gradient elution, derivatization etc.
Suggestions from participants concerning in-depth treatment of particular topics are welcome.
