Duration: 5 Days
Overview:
This workshop is designed to provide analytical chemists and professionals in related scientific fields with a concise and practical overview of essential data and procedures related to instrumental methods in analytical chemistry. It focuses on enabling participants to quantify instrument performance—particularly in estimating measurement uncertainties and demonstrating performance quality—while also understanding the limitations imposed by instrument design. These insights form the basis for the integration of validation and qualification processes within quality assurance systems. The workshop presents a structured framework covering major instrumental techniques such as spectrophotometry, chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and atomic emission spectroscopy. Through the use of case studies, exercises, and practical applications, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental concepts underlying these analytical techniques.
