Training Overview

Training Overview

Precise multi-element analysis is crucial across a range of fields—from mining trace metals and ensuring pharmaceutical quality to monitoring environmental pollutants. Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) technology has established itself as the leading method, capable of detecting multiple elements simultaneously at ppm and ppb levels with exceptional accuracy and consistency. The Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Analyzer – Practices, Techniques and Applications training course offers a thorough exploration of ICP fundamentals, including instrument operation, sample preparation, calibration techniques, interference management, and data analysis. Participants will also gain practical skills in troubleshooting and implementing stringent QA/QC procedures that comply with ISO, ASTM, and other regulatory standards. Through a blend of hands-on demonstrations and case-based learning, this course empowers professionals to enhance both efficiency and reliability in analytical testing within laboratory and industrial settings.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Master ICP-OES and ICP-MS theory and operational setup
  • Optimize sample digestion and calibration procedures
  • Identify and correct spectral interferences
  • Implement robust QA/QC systems
  • Troubleshoot signal drift and instrument anomalies

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Laboratory technicians & analysts
  • Quality control chemists in mining, pharma, water, or petrochemicals
  • Process engineers needing multi-element data
  • Environmental scientists and auditors

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The facilitator will provide interactive presentation that incorporates slides, videos, group discussion, and practical exercises to examine all aspects of the topic.
