Training Course Overview

The ICP Analyzer Training Course offers a comprehensive introduction to one of the most advanced technologies in analytical chemistry—Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP). Widely used for trace elemental analysis in industries such as mining, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and petrochemicals, ICP instruments deliver high-precision, multi-element detection at parts-per-million and parts-per-billion levels. Ensuring accuracy and reliability in such measurements requires a clear understanding of the technology’s principles, setup, and analytical techniques.

This Inductively Coupled Plasma Course provides in-depth instruction on both ICP-OES and ICP-MS systems. Participants will explore core topics including plasma generation, sample digestion, calibration methods, and spectral interference management. In addition to technical theory, the course places strong emphasis on troubleshooting, instrument maintenance, and implementing quality assurance protocols aligned with ISO, ASTM, and industry-specific standards. Practical exercises and case studies ensure that participants leave with the skills and confidence to manage ICP instruments effectively and deliver reliable analytical results.

Training Course Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the theory and operational functions of ICP-OES and ICP-MS systems
  • Execute sample preparation, digestion, and calibration with accuracy
  • Detect and mitigate spectral interferences in analytical results
  • Apply structured QA/QC protocols aligned with regulatory frameworks
  • Troubleshoot performance issues such as signal drift and instrument errors

Designed for

This ICP Analyzer Training Course is intended for professionals engaged in elemental analysis and laboratory operations. It is particularly suited for:

  • Laboratory Technicians and Analytical Chemists
  • Quality Control Specialists in mining, water, pharma, and petrochemical sectors
  • Process Engineers requiring precise multi-element data
  • Environmental Scientists, Compliance Auditors, and Research Analysts

Learning Methods

This Inductively Coupled Plasma Course is delivered through a combination of expert-led instruction, multimedia content, and hands-on demonstrations. Participants will engage in group discussions, review practical case studies, and conduct exercises designed to simulate real analytical scenarios. The training model emphasizes applied learning to ensure participants gain both theoretical understanding and technical competence.
