CETAC Technologies conducts twice-yearly ICP-AES/ ICP-MS continuing education series. The courses have been designed to appeal to personnel with varying backgrounds and to satisfy the continuing education requirements of quality programs. All courses are held at the CETAC office headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. Course dates for 2010 are April 19-23 and September 20-24.
Keeping your laboratory staff informed and well trained improves efficiency and accuracy.
Avoiding just one laboratory error is worth the investment in these courses!
An Introduction to Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry and Laboratory Session (April 19-20 / September 20-21)
The course will include the concept of ICP-AES spectrometry from the physical nature of the source through the various components of the instrumentation. Other topics will include calibration, background correction, interelement effects and performance enhancers. The laboratory session will emphasize hardware components and performance parameters.
An Introduction to Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and Laboratory Session
(April 21-22 / September 22-23)
The components that comprise an ICP-MS instrument will be described with particular detail for those items that are not in common with ICP-AES systems. Topics such as interferences, data acquisition, sample preparation and accessories will be discussed. Laboratory demonstrations will be used to demonstrate various aspects of ICP-MS spectrometry.
An Introduction to Laser Ablation
(April 23 / September 24)
New for 2010, CETAC is offering a 1-day course highlighting laser ablation
techniques used with ICP-AES and ICP-MS. The course will cover the
