PACS Course Number 260

9 AM to 5 PM

Atomic spectroscopy can help solve a wide variety of problems. Bill Purves is the instructor for this 2-day short course. He provides two separate atomic spectroscopy courses. This course is designed for beginner and intermediate levels of study. An advanced course is available, "Advanced Metals Analysis: AA, GFAA, ICP, ICP-MS", PACS course number 261. Most attendees benefit the most by taking both courses. Bill Purves is highly qualified on these subjects. He has been an instructor for Finnigan Institute, Perkin-Elmer, ACS and PACS. He has held several industrial positions using AA/GFAA/ICP and related procedures. His technical background and teaching skills will help solve your problems. During your courses he will show you how new techniques can improve the efficiency and quality of your laboratory data. The course content has many applications. This course will help: chemists, biochemists, chemical engineers, and quality assurance managers who need to know about principles, practices and applications of AA/GFAA/ICP. A course agenda is below. Also, this course can be provided with your staff and equipment at your time and place.

Key subjects you will learn about are:

  • Fundamental practices and theory of atomic spectroscopy, with a minimum of mathematical treatment
  • State-of-the-art instrumentation, data processing with computer
  • Sample treatment
  • Specific applications
  • New analytical techniques
  • Tested methods to improve precision and accuracy
  • Method development, quality control/quality assessment
  • Your specific interests
