Virtual Sample Preparation by Fusion Training - UK Time Zone

About The Event

Setting: Microsoft Teams   Sample preparation experts of Malvern Panalytical are pleased to invite you to participate in a two-day virtual course (3,5h/day) in English dedicated to the preparation of samples by fusion for XRF and ICP analysis. Throughout this course, we will cover the concept of fusion and will thoroughly examine the theory that underpins the development of fusion methods and programs. The importance of the weighing step on the analytical results, and the use and care of platinum ware will also be discussed. Q&A sessions, resolution of common problems in fusion as well as the study of some real cases will also be covered in detail. This training aims to provide individuals using or planning to use any kind of fusion instrument with basic knowledge and skills to be successful in preparing glass disks and ICP solutions.   TOPICS COVERED >> Fundamental and advanced concepts of fusion. Scope of sample preparation by fusion. >> Pressed pellets vs. glass disks: Advantages and disadvantages for XRF analysis. >> Study of key factors in sample preparation by fusion (selection of flux, acidity index, oxidation of samples, use of non-wetting agents, particle size of samples, sample pre-treatments, etc.). >> Correct use, cleaning, and care of platinum ware. >> Strategies for preparing unfaulty glass disks for XRF analysis and solutions for ICP analysis from challenging or unknown samples. WHO SHOULD ATTEND >> Prospective buyers of a fusion instrument who are interested in exploring the benefits of this sample preparation technique before making a purchase decision. >> Users of the fusion technique who are looking to gain more knowledge and skills in this sample preparation approach. >> Those who have recently purchased a fusion instrument from Malvern Panalytical. FEES This is a free course. Don't wait, register early as places are limited. Course registration will close 1 week prior to the course date, or as soon as the class is full, whichever is first.
