Calibration and Quantitation Training Course

1 Day

Discover the most common calculation methods used in support of a typical quantitative instrument analytical analysis

This one day course covers the most common methods used in the calculation, calibration and quantitation of data obtained from instrumental analysis. The material is extensively workshop driven, building your understanding of the different methods and when they would be applied. You will gain confidence in working with all types of calculated data.
