Fundamentals of Measurement in the Analytical Lab - METTLER TOLEDO

Join METTLER TOLEDO and Rainin Instrument for this "fundamental" course in performing good pH, weighing, and density/ refractive index measurements and improving your liquid handling results. More than just requisite theory - go in-depth with us to understand influences affecting the accuracy and precision of your pH meters, analytical and micro balances, digital density meters and refractometers and mechanical and electronic pipettes. Learn proven techniques, practical application, and valuable troubleshooting skills governing your use of these instruments. Advance your knowledge of electrodes, calibrations, and buffer selection that can improve your pH measurements. Learn what it means to "weigh the right way, and to select the appropriate analytical or micro balance by performing a key calculation. Gain insight into minimizing variability and maximizing accuracy in your pipette work and about proper ergonomics. Learn to best perform and to improve these fundamental measurements vitally important to virtually all further analysis in the analytical lab. Whether you are a laboratory professional working in basic research, bio/pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, or industry, a wealth of valuable information and resources focused on helping you improve your results in the QA/QC, or R&D lab awaits you!

Did you know?

The temperature of a solution being measured not only affects the slope, but the isothermal point, response time, and useful life of a pH electrode. Learn how to choose the appropriate electrode and filling solutions for your applications, and to maximize electrode response time and useful life under a variety of conditions.
Nearly 95% of balance inaccuracies can be attributed to influences within the control of the user or his/her organization. Maximize your weighing accuracy and minimize challenges such as static electricity, air buoyancy, and hygroscopic tendencies affecting your weight determinations.
Systematic linearity errors emanate from pipette tip internal diameter, orifice, size, size of air column, and other factors. Discover resources for improving your micro-volume dispensing and for reducing this and other errors.
More and more, digital instruments for the determination of density and refractive index are being implemented as a result of their ability to control influences affecting traditional measurement techniques. Uncover what these influences are - and how you can control them.

These and many more insights, discoveries, along with expert instruction, await both experienced and new lab personnel alike!
