LE0443(KJ1) : Laboratory Instruments Calibration & Troubleshooting Techniques

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Laboratory Instruments Calibration & Troubleshooting Techniques. It covers the laboratory instruments and measurement systems; the fundamentals of metrology and calibration; the measurement accuracy, precision and performance characteristics; the calibration standards, procedures and good laboratory practices; the measurement uncertainty and error analysis, calibration management system and documentation; and the laboratory balances, weighing systems and temperature, pressure and vacuum measuring instruments.
Further, the course will also discuss the volumetric laboratory equipment, pH meters and electrochemical instruments; the conductivity and dissolved oxygen meters, spectrophotometer calibration, performance verification and chromatography instrument calibration; the laboratory ovens, furnaces and incubators; the centrifuge calibration and performance testing; the calibration of turbidity, moisture and specialized meters; and the data acquisition and electronic measuring devices.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the laboratory instrument troubleshooting, electrical and electronic troubleshooting techniques and mechanical and pneumatic troubleshooting; the sensor and signal troubleshooting techniques and preventive and predictive maintenance of laboratory instruments; the root cause analysis of recurring instrument failures, calibration quality management and ISO/IEC 17025 principles; and the out-of-tolerance calibration, impact assessment, advanced instrument diagnostic techniques, calibration optimization and reliability improvement.
