Your essential introduction to elemental analysis
Module 1 of the Complete Elemental Analysis and the Practical Essentials of Elemental Analysis
This introductory module is a classroom-based course that covers the basic definitions of the components involved in elemental analysis in particular atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and ICP-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) , the processes of ionisation, absorption and emission, and the terminology required to delve deeper into understanding these techniques. Designed for professionals, students and chemists wanting to take the first step to enhancing their elemental analysis knowledge.
This module can be combined with any of the other nine modules in the Complete Elemental Analysis to tailor your training needs.
Why should I join?
On completion of this module 1 training, you will have a necessary overview of elemental analysis, giving you:
- An overview of the elemental analysis systems available
- Clear explanations of the chemistry behind elemental analysis
- Understanding of the processes that occurs during analysis
- An excellent start to other modules in our Complete elemental analysis training
- A great refresher if you have not worked with elemental analysis for a while
What would I learn?
This module focuses on an introduction to elemental analysis, where you will learn:
- Principles of elemental analysis and stages of the analysis
- The information a various elemental analysis systems provide
- What defines a problem analyte
- How an analyte is analysed in ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and AAS through chemical processes
What knowledge will I gain?
By the end of the module, you will:
- Understand how ICP is hyphenated to MS to form a complete technique
- Know of the various types of elemental analysis instrumentation is available
- Be able to define elemental analysis confidently
- Understand how wavelengths are specific to particular elements and why
- Comprehend how the mass analyser separates fragments by their mass-to-charge ratio through ionisation
- Be familiar with what data the various types of elemental analysis techniques provide
- Understand how qualitative analysis provides the answers to ‘what analyte’ is in a sample, whilst quantitative provides the answer to ‘how much analyte is present’
Is this course for me?
This course is designed for anyone who would like an introduction to elemental analysis techniques:
- Laboratory analysts & technicians using elemental analysis
- Laboratory or line managers overseeing elemental analysis instruments and analysis
- Data analysts and report writers who work with elemental analysis data
- Service engineers who want a chemistry focused introduction
- Sales, commercial or marketing teams who work with elemental analysis components, instruments, services, or personnel in any way and would like more knowledge
If elemental analysis touches your work in any way, this well-planned module, delivered by experts in the field, equips you to understand the science behind these analytical chemistry techniques.
