CALIBRATION AND QUANTITATION TRAINING
1 DAY - IN PERSON AT YOUR LAB
OR 2 HALF DAYS - LIVE ONLINE
Discover the most common calculation methods used in support of a typical quantitative instrument analytical analysis
This course covers the most common methods used in the calculation, calibration and quantitation of data obtained from instrumental analysis. The material is extensively workshop driven, building your understanding of the different methods and when they would be applied. You will gain confidence in working with all types of calculated data.
