Why Choose This Course

The Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Analyzer – Practices, Techniques and Applications training course develops the practical and theoretical expertise required for precise multi-element detection. It is particularly relevant to professionals working in mining, environmental monitoring, petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. ICP technology provides unparalleled accuracy and sensitivity when detecting elements at trace parts-per-million (ppm) and ultra-trace parts-per-billion (ppb) levels. These capabilities make ICP essential within modern analytical laboratories requiring high-precision elemental analysis.

Learning covers the complete analytical process, from system setup and plasma generation to sample preparation, matrix effects and interference mitigation. The course also addresses effective data interpretation through hands-on experience with ICP-OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy) and ICP-MS (Mass Spectrometry) techniques. Key operational areas include calibration, drift correction and troubleshooting. Coverage of ISO and ASTM standards and EPA regulations prepares professionals to address practical analytical challenges while maintaining result quality, compliance, operational efficiency and laboratory reliability.

This Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Analyzer – Practices, Techniques and Applications training course will highlight:
  • Setting up ICP systems and generating plasma
  • Preparing samples and managing matrix effects
  • Mitigating analytical interferences
  • Applying ICP-OES and ICP-MS techniques
  • Performing calibration, drift correction and troubleshooting
  • Interpreting data in accordance with ISO, ASTM and EPA requirements
