A significant part of the seminar is dedicated to <strong>interactive lab workshops<\/strong>. You will work directly with laboratory-scale twin-column systems (for example, Contichrom\u00ae CUBE instruments), configure methods, run experiments, analyse chromatograms and discuss optimisation strategies with the instructors. This practical experience is key to transferring continuous chromatography into your own environment.<\/p>\n                            \n                                                                                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div\n                    class=\"block-faq__item bg-white px-[14px] py-[24px] md:py-fluid-m md:px-fluid-l\"\n                    id=\"faq-item-block_0807c45ccf743d6922f6e12a53976412-4\"\n                    data-faq-item>\n                    <button \n                        id=\"faq-item-block_0807c45ccf743d6922f6e12a53976412-4-trigger\"\n                        class=\"block-faq__trigger appearance-none flex items-center justify-between cursor-pointer select-none w-full text-left\"\n                        aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                        aria-controls=\"faq-item-block_0807c45ccf743d6922f6e12a53976412-4-content\"\n                        aria-label=\"Toggle question: How do I register and are seats limited?\">\n                        <h3 class=\"!text-h4 md:!m-fluid-2xs text-primary-800 flex-1\">How do I register and are seats limited?<\/h3>\n\n                        <div class=\"block-faq__icon-wrapper relative shrink-0 ml-4 w-5 h-5\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                            <span class=\"block-faq__icon block-faq__icon--plus absolute top-0 left-0 w-full h-full flex items-center justify-center transition-opacity duration-300 ease-in-out opacity-100\">\n                                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa w-5 h-5\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"color:currentColor\"><!--!
