The hands-on LA-ICP-MS course is offered one day ahead of the EWLA2016, on Tuesday, July 12National Institute of Chemistry (NIC) in Ljubljana. The course is jointly organized by NIC and Teledyne Cetac/Photon Machines.
This one-day course is intended for researchers/students and lab managers/technicians working or intending to work with imaging by LA-ICP-MS equipment. It will take the participants step-by-step through the concepts and techniques for successful LA-ICP-MS imaging. The course will be divided in two parts: 1. theory (multiple lectures) and 2. practical hands-on demonstration (three modules). Participants will rotate through these modules in three groups with a maximum of 8 participants per group. The number of course participants is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration for the course can be made from within the registration form of the EWLA2016; just note your interest in the comments section and wait for confirmation from organizers.
The tentative agenda of the course can be found here.
Coffee and lunch are included in the price of the course (80€).
Prerequisite for the hands-on course registration is a regular or student EWLA2016 registration.
