specific training• If HPLC is required it includes application

relevant HPLC aspects but does not substi-tute an explicit HPLC training

• The number of participants is usually limited to 5 persons per course

• Price is per person and excludes all travel & lodging expenses

Advanced Operator Training Courses• Pre-requisite for attending a advanced

operator training courses is the successful participation in an essential operator training course.

• Price is per person and excludes all travel & lodging expenses

On-site Training CoursesOn-site Operator Training Courses• Contents are defined prior to the training

between the customer and Bruker training center.

• Time need should be calculated analogously to the factory training courses. Parameter optimization in your lab and of your instrument requires approx. an additional half day.

• The number of participants in the training is not limited but should not exceed a reason-able number to ensure a good interaction between trainees and trainer (usually up to 5 persons)

• Bruker reserves the right to convert an ordered on-site training into an in-house training in case of war, civil war, political instability, the risk of terrorist activity or natural disasters which pose a significant threat for Bruker employees.

In this section it is explained how this automation is implemented. The Workflow and Method concept is discussed; samples will be submitted, measured and analyzed. Finally the available tools for inspect-ing results are customized and used.

Reprocessing and ValidationThe functionality for reprocessing of acquired data sets and validation of obtained results are discussed.

Workflows in DetailDetails of the Intact Protein Workflow, Protein Digest Workflow, Glycan Workflow and Library Search Workflow are presented.

Course OutlineAs these training courses are specifically tailored according to our customer’s requirements, a general course outline cannot be provided. This depends on instrument, topics to be covered as well as duration of the course and will be discussed with the Bruker application specialist in advance of the training course. Check for language availability.

IntentionThis course is intended as an individual training course tailored for the specific needs of our cus-tomers. The course will be held on-site of the customer using his installed instrumentation. This ensures that all applications trained during the course will for sure be applicable on the local installation. The number of customers trained during this training is defined by the customer’s requirements. However, for practical and didactical reasons, groups should not get larger than 5-6 trainees.

PrerequisitePrerequisites depend on the actual training course content and should be discussed with the responsible application specialist from Bruker in advance of the training.
