LabTrain is a specialised scientific business that provides high-quality laboratory-related training courses. For many years, we have provided unique solutions to expand the skills of chemists beyond their standard schooling and experience
Our training culture focuses on a real understanding of topics, not just memorising facts.
Our trainers have years of hands-on experience and understand the day-to-day challenges faced by laboratory staff. Theyfocus on a real understanding of topics, not just memorising facts.
Course materials, such as those found in our “LabTrain Training Brochure.pdf“, are continuously updated to align with the latest industry trends.
Courses are held in-house, or we can provide customised on-site training at your facility to suit your specific requirements.
We have successfully trained staff from institutions including SAPS Forensic Science Laboratory, Rand Water Board, Sasol Synthetic Fuels, Eskom, Aspen Pharmacare, and many more.
Analytical Chemistry expert Daniel Garside has a Master of Science degree in Analytical Science from UCT and has had over 35 years of chromatography experience in both HPLC and GC. He spent a year at Lennon Limited (now Aspen Pharmacare) in the R&D department, developing HPLC and GC methods for pharmaceutical QC. He was Beckman’s HPLC Product Specialist for 4 years, where, besides the sales and support for the new System Gold HPLC, he also devised and ran the HPLC training course. In 1990, he formed Kayprime, where he ran a number of successful HPLC courses as well as consulting for various clients in various laboratory applications.
This was followed by a 6-year period selling Shimadzu HPLC and GC systems and providing support and training to Shimadzu users. He is very well known throughout the country for his knowledge and ability in various analytical techniques. He set up LabHouse for over 22 years, thereafter selling the business to become a Product Manager for Microsep. He was extensively involved with Tekmar’s Total Organic Carbon analysers and their Purge and Trap systems. He was also involved with LabHouse’s own contract lab in the early 2000s, setting up the GLP processes and Lab Management thereof. He has travelled overseas numerous times to Japan, the USA, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe for training on HPLC and GC as well as related techniques during his career.
