Your essential guide to data analysis in elemental analysis
Module 6 of the Complete Elemental Analysis and the Practical Essentials of Elemental Analysis course.
This sixth module takes an in-depth approach to data analysis, learning all about the processing, what data each technique provides, and how they allow the identification of unknown analytes in samples, as well as providing an insight into the various interferences that can occur in atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and ICP-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). This module is designed for students, professionals and chemists who want to further their knowledge on data analysis for elemental analysis.
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 6 training, you will have a solid understanding of data analysis in elemental analysis, giving you:
- An overview of trace element analysis across all three techniques
- Clear explanations qualitative and quantitative data analysis
- Understanding the use of internal and external standards in analysis
- Overview of the interferences that can occur in AAS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS
- A great addition to the other modules in our Complete elemental analysis
- A great refresher on data analysis if you have not performed elemental analysis for a while
What would I learn?
This module focuses on explaining data analysis in AAS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS, where you will learn:
- How data is produced across all three techniques
- What function the calibration curve serves in elemental analysis
- The various types of interferences that can occur when performing analysis
- The importance of matrix matching standards to the samples being analysed
- How various processes can be taken to aid in interference removal in AAS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS
What knowledge will I gain?
By the end of the module, you will:
- Understand the terms of linear dynamic range, correlation coefficient, and standard addition
- Know the differences between spectral, chemical, and physical interferences in elemental analysis
- Understand how total dissolved solid content (TDS) can impact analysis
- Understand interference removal techniques used in AAS such as deuterium, Zeeman, and Smith-Hieftje background corrections
- Comprehend how wavelength overlap can impact data in ICP-OES and the methods to help remove them
- Be familiar interferences in ICP-MS such as polyatomic, isobaric, and doubly charged ions, and how collision gases can be used to remove them
Is this course for me?
This course is designed for anyone who would like to learn about data analysis in elemental analysis.
- Laboratory analysts & technicians using elemental analysis
- Laboratory or line managers overseeing elemental analysis instruments
- Data analysts and report writers who work with elemental analysis
- Service engineers who want chemistry focused viewpoint to elemental analysis
- Sales, commercial or marketing teams who work with elemental analysis components instruments, or services in anyway and would like more in-depth knowledge
If elemental analysis touches your work in any way, this well-planned course delivered by experts in the field equips you to understand the science behind these techniques.
