Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometer (AFS)
Course Description
Equipment’s and instruments used to perform different kind of activity inside laboratory. The fluorescence of radiation by a sample of atomic particles, created by exposed the sample x-ray, represents a relatively simple spectral situation that has great practical value for elemental identification and concentration determination, this technique known as Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometer (AFS) which is importance in laboratory for determination of metals due to its sensitivity and potential for selectivity by virtue of the narrow atomic fluorescence lines. This course designed to provide theoretical and practical application of XRF instrumentation in the laboratory. It is designed also to understand concepts of principle of analytical chemistry, how to develop technical, and methods in laboratory, how to evaluate the laboratory instrumentation performance, and how to make Maintenance and Troubleshooting for your equipment

The course creates for chemists, laboratory technicians, instrument engineers and supervisors who work in laboratory.
