This course is taught live in a virtual classroom, is totally interactive with instrument parts and consumables shown & explained. There are small group sizes so plenty of opportunities to ask questions then get them answered on screen! It is a total of 6.5 hours split over 2 days.
This course provides an introduction for complete beginners to inductively coupled plasma, optical emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, explaining the principles of these techniques.
Attendees will gain a firm foundation in the techniques by learning about the instrumentation used, gaining an overview of the function and operation of each component of the ICP-OES and ICP-MS system.
The course also discusses why the technique is used and the answers it can give, looking at qualitative and quantitative data analysis.
The types of samples which can be analysed are covered, along with the different sampling techniques available and considerations when preparing samples.
Finally, the course reviews different industries and their applications of the techniques, using each as a case study to apply knowledge learned throughout the course.
