Titration and Classical Wet Chemistry
Instrumental methods get the attention, but a great deal of routine analysis still rests on titration done carefully. This course covers classical analytical techniques and the accuracy they demand.
Course outline
What this programme covers, module by module.
- 01Where classical methods still do the work
- 02Solution preparation, standardisation and primary standards
- 03Titration technique, burettes and volumetric accuracy
- 04Acid base, redox, complexometric and precipitation titrations
- 05Indicators, endpoints and potentiometric detection
- 06Gravimetric analysis and its requirements
- 07Calculation, uncertainty and troubleshooting precision

Laboratory Quality Management Systems and ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation
This programme prepares laboratory managers and quality staff to build, document and maintain a management system that meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. Participants examine competence, impartiality and consistent operation of testing and calibration laboratories, and learn how to prepare for a successful accreditation assessment. Practical sessions cover document control, corrective action and the transition from internal quality goals to formal recognition.
Laboratory Safety and Biosafety Management
This course equips laboratory personnel to identify, assess and control the physical, chemical and biological hazards found in a working laboratory. Delegates study biosafety levels, containment practices and the safe handling of infectious agents alongside general occupational safety duties. The training links regulatory expectations to day to day behaviour on the bench.
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) for Regulated Studies
This programme explains the principles of Good Laboratory Practice as applied to non clinical health and environmental safety studies. Participants learn how GLP governs study conduct, data integrity, facilities and personnel responsibilities. The course helps laboratories align their practices with the expectations of regulatory bodies and monitoring authorities.
