Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) is a powerful analytical technique widely used for the qualitative and quantitative determination of elemental composition in diverse sample matrices. The technique offers high sensitivity, accuracy, and the capability for simultaneous multi-element analysis. This hands-on training programme is designed to provide participants with practical exposure to the principles, instrumentation, sample preparation methods, calibration procedures, and data interpretation involved in ICP-AES analysis. The training will enable researchers and laboratory personnel to develop proficiency in operating the instrument and generating reliable analytical results for environmental, biological, agricultural, and industrial applications.

Targeted Trainees

The workshop is intended to provide the basics of ICP-AES to participants, along with instrumentation and practical experience in some of its applications. The training programme covers topics including the fundamentals of ICP-AES, instrumentation and components, sample preparation and handling, data acquisition, and interpretation.

Eligibility

Postgraduate students, PhD scholars, and other researchers from research institutions, colleges, and universities.

Selection Procedure

"First-come, first-served" basis in the order of registration.
