Water analysis measurement techniques
Free laboratory training days in water analysis measurement techniques are offered by Hach Lange in 2006, covering pH, turbidity and conductivity measurement
Free Laboratory Training Days in water analysis measurement techniques in 2006 A good understanding of the basic principles behind all measurement techniques is essential if laboratory staff are to attain high levels of accuracy and reliability in their work

Eight sensors monitored continuously
Hach Lange have launched the SC1000 Controller, which communicates with up to eight different sensors simultaneously, plus a portable display module, with numerous control and display functions
The new Controller - all for one, and one for all!
Hach Lange have launched the SC1000 Controller, designed to communicate with up to eight different water industry monitoring sensors simultaneously: whatever the function, or connection protocol
For this reason, Hach Lange, one of the world leading manufacturers of laboratory testing equipment, has established a series of free training courses throughout 2006.
In the courses held in 2005 focusing on pH, conductivity and turbidity, the participant feedback demonstrated a very high level of satisfaction.
Garry Grigg, Analytical Chemist for Chemtura found the course very helpful, commenting, "We were particularly pleased with the content of the course.
It was obviously designed to reinforce basic principles whilst providing practical information and tips on how to maximise the performance of our instruments".
The laboratory at Chemtura supports the production and quality control of flame retardant plasticisers and water treatment chemicals.
Dr Geoff King provides training on pH, outlining key principles including.
* The role of the indicator and reference electrodes.
* The factors affecting choice of electrode.
* The affects of chemical composition and electrolytic strength on measurement technique.
* The preparation or purchase of calibration or buffer solutions is also discussed.
Training includes sessions on conductivity measurement in the laboratory.
The relationship between solution resistance and conductance is explained in addition to a description of the factors affecting choice of electrode.
Good measurement technique is explained in conjunction with key issues such as the 'cell constant' and polarisation avoidance.
Calibration techniques and temperature compensation are also covered for all types of water including ultra-pure.
Christian Pust provides training on turbidity measurement covering important subjects such as principles of measurement and the differences between USEPA and ISO standards.
Information is also provided on calibration, the ratio mode and the effects of stray light.
Details on training courses in 2006 can be obtained directly from Sarah Blayds at Hach Lange or by subscribing to the company's regular email update, the 'H20 Newsletter', via the web site.
