Workshop Duration/Credits
Five days/3.0 CEUs

Workshop Description
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 problems. This very expansion 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.

In modern laboratories, there is an increasing need for analysts to understand and be able to quantify the performance of analytical instruments, in particular with respect to the following:

This workshop links together an understanding of performance characteristics 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 unique framework of topics covers the major instrumental techniques of spectrophotometry, 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.
