COURSE OVERVIEW:

The meaning of this course lies in establishing a rigorous foundation in the fundamental chemical principles that govern all laboratory measurements. Analytical chemistry is more than just operating machines; it is the science of information, requiring a deep understanding of chemical equilibria, stoichiometry, and kinetics. This course bridges the gap between theoretical academic knowledge and the practical skills required in a high-performance industrial laboratory.

The scope of this training involves a comprehensive review of classical wet chemistry techniques alongside modern instrumental theory. It covers the essentials of gravimetry, titrimetry, and the behavior of chemical species in various solvent systems. By focusing on the "First Principles" of analytical science, participants will learn how to approach any chemical problem systematically, ensuring that they understand the "how" and "why" behind every standardized test method.

The coverage includes detailed training on sample preparation, the preparation of primary standards, and the mathematics of concentration calculations. Participants will explore the principles of spectrophotometry, chromatography, and electrochemistry from a foundational perspective. This course provides the essential building blocks for junior chemists and a vital refresher for senior staff, ensuring a unified and scientifically sound approach to the laboratory's daily analytical tasks.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the core roles and responsibilities of the analytical chemist.
• Apply stoichiometry to calculate precise chemical concentrations.
• Master the use of high-precision volumetric and gravimetric tools.
• Explain the principles of acid-base, redox, and complexometric equilibria.
• Prepare accurate standard solutions from primary and secondary materials.
• Select appropriate indicators and reagents for classical titrimetry.
• Utilize the Beer-Lambert law for basic quantitative spectrophotometry.
• Execute standardized sample preparation and digestion protocols.
• Calculate and interpret analytical precision and accuracy.
• Implement rigorous cleaning and cross-contamination prevention rules.
• Troubleshoot basic chemical interferences in analytical reactions.
• Document analytical results with technical and scientific clarity.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Junior Chemists, Laboratory Technicians, Quality Control Analysts, and non-chemistry graduates who require a solid foundation in core analytical practices.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
