Environmental air monitoring - How to optimise sampling and analysis of trace organic compounds
18 July 2023. Online. Duration: 2 hours (10am BST)
What you will learn:
Choosing the correct sampling techniques for the identification of trace organic compounds depends on various considerations. This course will give you the knowledge to select the correct method for your application and highlights the key attributes of analytical instruments required to obtain robust, validated data. Whether running routine standard methods for targeted analysis, or carrying out non-targeted discovery of analytes, this course will enable you to make informed decisions to maximise confidence in your results and optimise operational costs.
