Chemical Laboratory Operations, Equipment, Instruments, Quality & Safety

Efficient use of advanced operations and instruments in the chemical laboratory are vital tools to solve any laboratory problem. The course provides basic laboratory analysis methods and troubleshooting techniques for the most used instruments. Laboratory quality management according to an international standard is also important to enhance the laboratory system and environment. In addition, safety regulations are increasingly emphasizing the importance of management commitment and employee involvement in managing risks. The aim of this course is to enrich and advance the skills and knowledge of participants to understand laboratory techniques, quality laboratory requirements and the procedures of safety methods.
