— Training
Hands-on HPLC and LC-MS training, on your instruments.
Your analysts learn to set up, run, interpret, and troubleshoot on the instruments they use every day, from someone who has done this at the bench for 14 years. On-site across the GTA.
What it is
Most instrument training happens once, at install, by a vendor who never sees your matrix. Then the people who actually run the samples are left to figure out the hard parts alone. I train your team on your own instruments, with your own methods, on the problems your lab actually hits. When I leave, they can run the work without me.
What it covers
- Instrument setup and daily readiness checks
- Running samples and reading the output critically
- Method development logic, not recipe-following
- Troubleshooting: sensitivity, peak shape, matrix effects, carryover
- Routine maintenance that keeps a source clean and a column alive
- Documentation habits that survive an audit
Scoped to your team. A focused day on one technique, or a multi-day block that walks a method from sample prep through validation. We agree the content before I arrive.
Who it's for
- Contract labs and CROs
- Generic and biosimilar pharma QC
- Natural health product manufacturers
- Cannabis, food, and environmental testing labs
- Academic core facilities
What you keep
Every engagement ends with a short take-home reference, a method checklist or troubleshooting guide built around what we worked on, so the training sticks after I leave and your next hire has somewhere to start.
Booking
Day rate scoped to your group size and depth.
Book a 30-minute call and tell me your instruments, your team size, and the problems you want covered. I'll send a quote and a proposed plan. No obligation.

About the instructor
Pawliszyn-trained Ph.D. analytical chemist. 14 years across pharma, CRO, environmental, and natural-product labs. I've developed and validated LC-MS and HPLC methods, trained 200+ scientists, and published 18 peer-reviewed papers. I still do bench work, which is the point: the training is grounded in what actually happens in the lab.
