Most analytical courses tend to focus on individual techniques, thoroughly exploring each method in isolation without considering their integration with other techniques. What sets this course apart is its comprehensive approach to analytical techniques, emphasizing the strengths and limitations of each within a problem-solving context.

This course is specifically designed to provide a practical perspective on resolving methodological and technical challenges that may require the application of multiple technologies. It covers proper sampling procedures and introduces a wide range of analytical and physical measurement tools used for effective problem-solving, including separation methods and both classical and instrumental techniques. Additionally, the course addresses the use of computer procedures for data analysis, which is a crucial aspect of modern analytical practices.

Throughout the course, participants will engage in three workshops, where both instructors and attendees will collaboratively work on real-life problem examples provided by the participants themselves. This hands-on approach allows for practical application and reinforces the learning experience.

By taking an integrated approach to analytical techniques and providing opportunities for active problem-solving, this course equips participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to address complex analytical challenges in a comprehensive and effective manner.

Course Objectives:

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

Upon completion of the course, participants will have learned an approach to solving problems in a cost-effective & timely manner; Participants will have acquired an integrated overview of many techniques and procedures used in modern analytical and physical measurement laboratories for pharmaceuticals, polymers petrochemical, industrial chemicals, and related materials.
Participants will understand the values and limitations of each technique. Then, he/she will be prepared to make practical choices to apply in the solution of difficult problems. Participants will also have a feel for the importance, participants will have an opportunity to get help with his/her own problems in one of the two scheduled workshops.
