Value Added Program on Advanced Chromatographic Techniques

Date : 26/03/2025 to 28/03/2025

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, M.S. Ramaiah College of Arts, Science and Commerce (Autonomous), successfully organized a three-day Value-Added Program (VAP) on “Advanced Chromatographic Techniques” from 26th to 28th March 2026 at Aknowlytiq Academy, Vidyaranyapura, Bengaluru.

The program was conducted for M.Sc. II Semester Biochemistry students and aimed to provide hands-on training and in-depth understanding of advanced analytical techniques widely used in research and industry.

The sessions focused on key chromatographic techniques, including:

• High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
• Gas Chromatography (GC)
• Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)

Participants were trained in the principles, instrumentation, sample preparation, method development, and data interpretation associated with these techniques. The program emphasized practical exposure, enabling students to operate sophisticated instruments and understand real-time analytical workflows.

The training was delivered by Mr. Rajesh Kumar K, Director, AknowlytiQ Academy, who provided demonstrations and supervised hands-on sessions, ensuring effective learning and skill development.

The program was highly beneficial in enhancing the analytical competencies of students, bridging the gap between theory and practice, and preparing them for research, higher education, and industry-oriented careers.
