Note from the editor: 

This month we are giving away a free video on the topic of HPLC instruments that you can use when giving training or as an aid for coaching.  Also we have: the second instalment in the series on implementing in-house training;  tips on priming injections in Peak Solutions; suggestions for validation in early phase development in Analytical Chemistry Revision Notes; we announce the first winner of an iPod Shuffle for a contribution to Analyse This; and finally, Ask Lab Tech Guy.

If you have a question for Lab Tech Guy, a tip for the Peak Solutions column, a topic for Analytical Chemistry Revision Notes or anything else you would like to share, then send it to me.  Any item published wins the writer an iPod Shuffle.

Don't forget, if you've received this newsletter from a colleague, then sign up now to receive future editions delivered straight to your inbox.

Kind regards,
