These tutorials are brought to you in collaboration with Agilent, and presented by Alain Desprez. Alain Desprez completed his PhD, which focused on “The characterization of petroleum product using ICP-MS and High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry” at the University of Pau in 2014. The same year, he joined Agilent as an ICP-MS Application Engineer in France. In this role, he has been able to develop his applications knowledge and skills related to atomic spectroscopy by supporting Agilent’s ICP-MS, ICP-OES, MP-AES, and AAS instrumentation in the France Demo Centre. After nine years as an Application Engineer, Alain took on the role of Global ICP-MS Supplies Product Manager and still works from the France Demo Centre in Les Ulis.
