The quality of analysis depends more on the quality of the operator than that of the instrument, so this course will help laboratory staff   to understand meaning of spectroscopy, and to be apple to make elemental analysis with high sensitivity by spectroscopy

The course creates for chemists, laboratory technicians, instrument engineers and supervisors who work in laboratory.
