Mercury Analysis Training

Introduction:

This course is designed to refresh analysts on instrument operation, software, and sample analysis as well as to provide new information and techniques to get the most out of your analyzer and improve sample analysis precision, accuracy, and efficiency. Solutions to common problems will be presented as well as strategies to deal with any unique challenges experienced in your lab.

The PS Analytical range of mercury continuous emissions monitors (CEMs) is designed to handle all types of industrial and research applications. This CEM is based course which allows the participants to understand the systems and its customization to specific user requirements. Through this course we aim for the participants to fully grasp CEMs three broad categories summarized as general purpose, dedicated monitoring or compact instruments.
