Modern Analytical Laboratory Management, Operations, Analytical Instrumentation, Equipment, Safety & Quality (Iso17025)

The course provides basic analytical analysis methods and troubleshooting techniques of the most used instruments in an analytical laboratory. Knowledge of modern analytical instruments and techniques is necessary to solve any laboratory problem. In addition, it offers elegant tools for qualitative and quantitative data techniques with practice work on analysis software. Safety in the laboratory is very important for chemists. Quality ISO 17025 will be explained theoretical and practical training. The aim is to enrich and advance the skills and knowledge of participants to understand analytical chemistry technology.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able:

• To impart participants fundamental techniques of analytical chemistry
• To identify the application of analytical methods
• To understand the instruments’ techniques
• To know how to judge the accuracy and precision of experimental data and how these judgments can be sharpened by the application of statistical methods
• To understand the tools and techniques used to achieve process analysis, qualitative methods, cause and effect diagrams and calibration graphs
• To understand ISO 17025 requirements
• To know all safety tools required in the laboratory
• To be familiar with the latest analytical methods
