Mastery in Ions analysis by IC, Routine Operation & Troubleshooting

Course Description

Ion chromatography is more knowledge and skill-oriented science among analytical techniques. This science usage is very common for trace (or) ultra-trace level multiple ions measurements in various sample matrices.

Have you come across a situation, such as,

• New requirement of IC usage?
• New or uncommon analyte, ex. PFAS compounds, to be measured?
• New sample matrix to be tested?
• Tired of laborious Calibration exercises & Many sample preparation jobs?
• Maybe there is a change of generations/users in your lab?

Whatever it is that’s on your agenda, a hands-on training of your staff on IC Science & Instrumentation is always a right decision.

Metrohm offers training courses for decades and provides access closer to 2500 applications free of charge. The 3 days course comprises of lectures and hands-on sessions with instruments. The blend of theoretical lectures and Practical works with IC instrument enables the participants to use systematic methodologies to develop IC analysis methods.

Our new training facilities are state of the art and the courses are taught by champions with a comprehensive background in Ion chromatography and software.
