Details :
Efficient use of advanced operations and instruments in the
chemical laboratory are vital tools to solve any laboratory problem. The course
provides basic laboratory analysis methods and troubleshooting techniques for
the most used instruments. Laboratory quality management according to an
international standard is also important to enhance the laboratory system and
environment. In addition, safety regulations are increasingly emphasizing the
importance of management commitment and employee involvement in managing risks.
The aim of this course is to enrich and advance the skills and knowledge of
participants to understand laboratory techniques, quality laboratory
requirements and the procedures of safety methods.
This course will links together an understanding of performance
characteristics with an appreciation of the limitations imposed by analytical
instrument design, leading to the interplay of the validation and qualification
processes within quality assurance systems. The course 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 the participants to develop a thorough understanding of
the various concepts that underpin the different techniques.
This course will cover the major operations performed in an
industrial chemical laboratory. It will describe the major equipment used in
the chemical laboratory, their operations, validations, calibrations and
maintenance. The course will concentrate on Standard Operation Procedures (SOP)
which includes development, revisions, standards and implementations. Various
Quality standards will be discussed. However, the course will concentrate on
ISO 17025:2005. Finally, the course will demonstrate the safety practices and
its critical impact in an industrial chemical laboratory. OSHA standards and
regulations will be discussed and related videos will be shown to attendees.
In addition to the updated
knowledge provided to attendees during the course period, each attendee will go
back to his/her laboratory equipped with an outstanding manual that includes typical
SOP’s that can be modified and used within attendee’s laboratory.
This outstanding course is a MUST for every laboratory
professional. The updated knowledge and techniques covered during the 5 days of
this training, will dramatically improve not only the attendee’s skills, but
will also improve the performance of the attendee’s laboratory as a whole. However,
if you are looking to improve the performance of your laboratory, then you have
to commit yourself to pass the knowledge gained in this training to your
subordinates and colleagues back in your laboratory as we will give you all the
tools needed for this purpose; knowledge, skills, manual, power point slides,
videos, Standard Operation Procedures (SOP), forms and standards.
