Laboratory Excellence and AccreditationAnalytical Chemistry Methods and Instrumentation
A broad grounding in the analytical techniques a working laboratory uses and, more importantly, in choosing between them. Delegates work through classical wet chemistry and where it remains the right answer, chromatographic separation for both gas and liquid phase, spectroscopic determination, and electrochemical methods. Each technique is presented against the question it answers, its detection range and its interferences, so delegates can match a technique to an analyte and a matrix rather than to whatever instrument the laboratory owns. Sample preparation, quality control and result reporting run through the whole course.
Course objectives
- Match an analytical technique to an analyte and a matrix
- Apply classical wet chemistry where it remains appropriate
- Describe gas and liquid chromatographic separation
- Select spectroscopic and electrochemical determination methods
- Compare techniques on detection range, precision and interference
- Prepare samples appropriately for the chosen technique
- Apply quality control and report results defensibly
Who should attend
- Laboratory technicians and analysts
- Graduate chemists entering laboratory work
- Quality control staff
- Laboratory supervisors and technical managers
