Maintenance and Troubleshooting of Laboratory Analytical Equipments

Introduction

The growth of modern technology has confronted the analytical chemist with a host of new and increasingly complex materials and has posed more stringent demands for greater sensitivity, reliability, and speed. On the other hand, developments in instrumentation have provided the analyst with new techniques, instruments, procedures, and reagents for dealing with these of equipment, reagents, and methodology has, however greatly complicated the task of the chemist searching for the best way of attacking a new or unfamiliar sample. This workshop is intended to provide analytical chemists and their colleagues in related sciences with concise and convenient summaries of the fundamental data and the practical procedures that are most important and useful among the instrumental methods in analytical chemistry.   

And be able to quantify the performance of analytical instruments, in particular with respect to the following:  

  • Estimating uncertainties in instrument
  • quantifying and demonstrating performance quality     

With an appreciation of the limitations imposed by instrument design, leading to the interplay of the validation and qualification processes within quality assurance systems. This workshop includes a unique framework of topics covers the major instrumental techniques of spectrophotometers, chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and atomic emission spectroscopy. The use of case studies, exercises, and practical applications will help participants to develop a thorough understanding of the various concepts that underpin the different techniques.  

Objectives

    Upon the successful completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:-   

    • To Understand the various techniques of Analytical Measurements  
    • To give the principles of reliable laboratory measurements
    • To outline key laboratory safety issues and safety measures
    • To estimate uncertainties  in the instrument
    • To aware of the Instrument Performance Characteristics which include types and interaction between different characteristics. 
    • To prepare and handle Sample for different Analytical Instrumentations   
    • To understand, use, maintain and troubleshoot of key laboratory equipment (Ultraviolet, Visible Spectrophotometers, Infrared Spectroscopy, Electrolytic Conductance, and pH, Gas Chromatography

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is intended for all chemical laboratory professionals, Laboratory Managers, Superintendents, Supervisors, Engineers, Chemists, Analysts and Technicians
