Basic Laboratory Skills
Instructor:
Mark Powell
Product ID: 706286
Training Level: Basic
- Duration: 60 Min
Why Should You Attend:
Competence in weighing and volumetric operations is essential for those undertaking chemical analysis.
Volumetric apparatus and laboratory balances, regardless of calibration, will only deliver accurate weights and volumes if used correctly. This webinar is designed to remind chemical analysts of best practice in the use of balances, volumetric flasks, burettes and pipettes (glass bulb pipettes and transfer pipettes). The error associated with different weight and volume measurements will be discussed, so that an estimate of the likely variability introduced by a particular weighing or pipetting operation can be assessed.
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
- Weighing
- Minimum weights according to balance type
- Balance set-up checks
- Cleaning
- Weighing by difference vs. tare weighing
- Weighing volatile liquids and solids prone to static charge
- Common errors in use
- Volumetric apparatus
- Titrations – choice of burette
- Magnitude of error for different pipette/flask volumes
- Glass bulb pipettes vs. transfer pipettes
- Common errors in use
Who Will Benefit:
- Analytical scientists and technicians
- Personnel responsible for staff training
- Laboratory management
- Quality assurance professionals
Free Materials:
- Links to web-based videos demonstrating best practice
