The Fmnigan Institute, a di\i-ion of Finnigyl Corporation, will organize a course on _-\n21\-ticalb-rolysis from June Ii--19. 19S0, in Cincinnati. Tnk course pro\-ides hands-on laboratory esperience with pyrol_vsis techniques and reviews the siate-of-the-art. The overall objective of the co-urse is to -guide the pzT;icipy1ti to rapid luiihzarion of p-rolyis techniques in their specific app!icrrrion. Tins !zborztory portion of the COUEZ is deakgned to famikrire the parkipants with different pyrolysis devices and sampling technique-, cptimization of the p?;ro!>-s% conditions, and aua5tativ-c and qaantitative zpplications of L 2n2ly~icil p_vrolJ-sis. The lecture portion of _;he course includes discussions on cl~ification of pyoIy_sls de\-ices. cornpx%on of pyrolysis conditions in different p>-rolyze_rs, and problems o_r reproducibi!it?; and standardization. Other topics included in lecture are the app!icarion of an2lyticzl pyrolysis to polymer chuaci;etizati0Zl. 2116 fo rhe identification of micro-organisms, comp!es ‘oiological mater:& ~ 2nd non-\-o!aii!e orga-?ics. The potential of am$-tical pyro!,ysis in forensic xience and the sppIIcaicion of p\-ro!ysiw2s chromatography-mass spectromcr-r- are also discussed. Pyrolyzers b2sed on vtious principles of operation will be a\-ailable for the course. The insrr-ctor will be R2m Le\-\-. from McDonnell Douglas Reseuch Laboratories: the course is amounts fo I_.-._5 S 390.00.
