Following the success of our current ICP-OES and ICP-MS courses, we’ve launched our new Absolute Basics of Elemental Analysis training course.

This course is a beginner-friendly, 1‑day classroom-based course introducing the fundamentals of elemental analysis, including inductively coupled plasma with optical emission spectroscopy (ICP‑OES), atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), mass spectrometry (ICP‑MS) & atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Ideal for newcomers or those looking for a structured refresher, this course explains how these analytical techniques identify & quantify elements in complex samples & how they’re used throughout modern laboratories. 

This course breaks down complex instrumentation & concepts into easy-to-understand ideas, helping you to build skills that you can use in the lab.

On completion, you will understand what elemental analysis is; the techniques ability to identify & quantify the elemental composition of a sample; how AAS, ICP-OES & ICP-MS work; & why they are some of the most used analytical chemistry techniques.

This course is ideal for anyone needing a solid theoretical grounding in elemental analysis and if this technique touches your work in any way, this well-planned course delivered by experts in the field equips you to understand the science behind.

You can find out more about this course here: Absolute Basics of Elemental analysis, where there are three course dates available in 2026. Have any questions or would like a course outline, contact us at training@anthias.co.uk
