Target Learner:

Laboratory Managers, Auditors, and Technicians

Course Description:

Introduction to Analytical Measurement introduces the fundamental principles that support reliable analytical measurements across chemical, biological, environmental, pharmaceutical, forensic, and research laboratories. Rather than focusing on a single analytical technique, the course establishes the measurement science that underpins all analytical testing.

Participants explore measurement terminology, quantities and units, measurement procedures, reference materials, metrological traceability, calibration, measurement error, uncertainty, method verification and validation, analytical performance characteristics, and the operation of common analytical instruments. Examples include pH measurement, chromatography, thermal analysis, density measurement, titration, spectroscopy, refractometry, and other laboratory technologies. These topics are drawn directly from the course content covering analytical measurement concepts, VIM terminology, measurement standards, traceability, error sources, uncertainty, validation, and representative analytical instrumentation.

By emphasizing the principles common to all analytical laboratories, this course develops transferable competencies that learners can apply regardless of discipline, instrument platform, or industry.
