Managing an Environmental Laboratory
This course presents several aspects of managing an environmental laboratory that generates data of known and documented quality. Most Laboratory Managers, Technical Directors and Quality Assurance Managers have learned by doing the job. The science of doing the tests is only part of the process of doing environmental science. Every environmental laboratory manager must learn all aspects of data generation which includes not only understanding the science but must also understanding the regulations.
Date and Time: Friday, August 9; 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Instructor: Marlene Moore, Advanced Systems, Inc.
Fee: $225
Understanding Radiochemistry Testing and the TNI 2016 Standard - EPA Method 901.1 (Gamma Spectrometry)
This course will provide participants with a general understanding of the theory behind the radioanalytical techniques used to perform gamma spectrometric measurements as outlined in EPA method 901.1 (Gamma Emitting Radionuclides in Drinking Water) and supported by references such as ANSI N42.14-2004 ("Calibrations and Use of Germanium Spectrometers for the Measurement of Gamma-Ray Emission Rates of Radionuclides") and ASTM D7282-06 ("Standard Practice for Set-up, Calibration, and Quality Control of Instruments Used for Radioactivity Measurements"). A mixture of theory-lecture and interactive exercises using real laboratory data examples will help participants understand how analytical processes translate into actions, results, and records that one might encounter in a typical radioanalytical laboratory. It will also address typical challenges that may be encountered. This class will be of benefit both to radiochemistry laboratorians and radiochemistry assessors/ABs.
Note: This course is Part 4 in a planned series of five radiochemistry training courses. Parts 1-3 are available on the TNI website.
Date and Time: Friday, August 9; 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
Instructor: TNI Radiochemistry Expert Committee
Fee: $195
Solid Phase Extraction Essentials
This course presents the analytical environmental fundamentals and applications of solid-phase extraction (SPE) techniques, including sample matrix, sorbents/sorbtion, analytes, method optimization, and reporting results. This course is designed to improve general understanding of SPE, improve ability to better execute existing methods and develop new methods, and educate attendees in method optimization and reporting. It will be useful to analysts who perform and optimize existing regulatory methods as well as those who develop new methods for SPE.
Date and Time: Friday, August 9; 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Instructor: Dr. Martha J.M. Wells, Envirochem Services
Fee: $165
