Your in-depth guide to UV-Visible spectroscopy with applied training

Go beyond the fundamentals of UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy with this intermediate 1-day classroom-based training, designed for professionals, scientists and students who already possess a basic understanding of UV-Vis and want to enhance their knowledge further. This course explores the principles, instrumentation, method development, data analysis, and real-world application of UV-Vis spectroscopy.

This Applied UV-Vis course will cover the chemistry and theory behind UV-Vis and goes beyond how the instrumentation works, to look at method parameters and how they influence analytical performance alongside discussing method development and how they can be optimised. Reinforce your learning through practical examples and case studies covering UV-Vis applications across pharmaceutical, environmental, chemical and food industries.
