EVENT OVERVIEW:
Atomic Absorption (AA) has been a routine trace elemental
analytical technique for over 50 years, and it
is used extensively throughout the world. With the
appearance of microwave induced plasma spectroscopy
(MIPS) and lower priced optical inductively
coupled plasma spectrometers (ICP-OES), has the day
come when AA is ready to be replaced by faster analysis
techniques?
Key Learning Objectives:
n Understand the cost base and
comparative capabilities of AA, ICP, and
Microwave Induced Plasma Spectroscopy
(MIPS)
n Get insight into the future prospects for AA
n Gain a greater degree of clarity about
the analytical roadmap available for your
laboratory following the introduction of
MIPS into the market
The web seminar will compare these three technique
options in terms of their costs and their ability to
address different types of samples. Thoughts on the
future of trace elemental analysis in the short term
(1-3 years) and beyond will also be presented. We will
answer the big question: “What is the analysis roadmap
for your laboratory?”
Who Should Attend:
n Current AA users
n Laboratory personnel conducting trace
elemental analysis
n Laboratory managers with future
requirements to do trace elemental
analysis
n Regulatory compliant enforcers
n QA/QC analysts
n Anyone interested in AA, ICP and MIPS
