Laboratory TrainingsIntroduction
The efficient use of chemical analysis and instrument technique are very imperative tools to solve any laboratory problem. The course provides laboratory analysis methods and troubleshooting techniques of most used instruments in any laboratory. In addition, it provides elegant tools for obtaining qualitative and quantitative data techniques with practice work on analysis Software. The aim of this course is to enrich and update the knowledge and skills of the participants for understanding the problem of chemical analysis and implementing analysis troubleshooting.
Objective
• To impart the participants technique of solving problem in the laboratory.
• To understand and apply practically the instruments troubleshooting.
• To know the difficult task of judging the accuracy and precision of experimental data and how these judgments can be sharpened by the application of statistical methods.
• To understand the tools and techniques for achieving process analysis, qualitative methods, cause and effect diagrams and calibration graph.
Audience
The course is planned for chemist, lab technicians, chemical engineers, instrumental engineers and lab supervisors/managers.

Methodology
Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
