The quality of analysis depend 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 is of interest for any person working in any analytical laboratory. Laboratory staff, Chemists, supervisors and technicians
