What is the CCDG?
The history of CCDG speaks for itself. 47 years of providing a forum for the exchange of information in all areas of chromatorgraphy. Founded in 1961 by several pioneers in gas chromatography, CCDG was the first chromatography discussion group in the United States. Our motto, Sharing in Knowledge, has been the key to the accomplishments of the past and the challenges of the future.
