Welcome to the ‘Atomic Spectroscopy Learning Hub: ICP-MS’, a free access portal produced by Separation Science in collaboration with Agilent. The course is designed to improve your knowledge, best practice and troubleshooting skills in the use of ICP-MS techniques. This course currently comprises four modules – the outline for which is below – each module has an associated quiz to validate your learning experience.
The modules are:
- Sample Introduction – available now
- ICP-MS application specific set up – available now
- ICP-MS Speciation – available now
- Laser Ablation ICP-MS – available now
The course will comprise a series of learning modules as outlined above – completing each module, including answering all quiz questions correctly, will result in you receiving a certificate of completion. There will also be a course completion certificate once all modules have been successfully finished.
The course presenter is Dr Gareth Pearson (ICP-MS Supplies Product Manager at Agilent). Gareth graduated from the University of Hull, UK in 2003 with a M.Chem. in Chemistry with Analytical Chemistry & Toxicology. He went on to complete a Ph.D. using ICP-MS in 2007 with the title “Elemental Speciation and Miniaturised Sample Introduction Studies for ICP-MS”. He has worked as a Product Manager in the UK and Australia for Spectroscopy and Sample Preparation instrumentation since 2007. Currently, Dr. Pearson is the ICP-MS Spectroscopy Supplies Product Manager for Agilent based at the Spectroscopy Technology Innovation Centre in Melbourne, Australia. He has over 15 years’ experience in Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy.
