Would you like to master the ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) technique and make full use of your instruments (ICP-MS, ICP-AES, ICP-MS/MS) in your laboratory? At FILAB, we offer tailored ICP training adapted to your analytical and operational needs. This training is designed to strengthen your teams’ skills at every stage of ICP analysis, from the plasma and operating principle to results interpretation and quality control.
Does your team need training in ICP technique...
Training in the different ICP techniques
An ICP training course covers learning inductively coupled plasma spectrometry analysis techniques. There are different analytical techniques:
- Training in ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), for trace analysis and elements at very low concentrations, with the possibility of isotopic analysis.
- Training in ICP-AES / OES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry), for simultaneous multi-element analysis across wide concentration ranges.
- Training in ICP-MS/MS, for advanced interference removal and an additional gain in sensitivity on complex matrices.
The training includes both theoretical foundations (plasma physics, instrumentation, interferences) and practical applications, with a focus on analysis of real matrices, sample preparation, calibration, and result processing.
Learning objectives of the ICP training
The objectives of this ICP training are to enable participants to:

Our FAQ
First, it is important to define what ICP is. ICP is the abbreviation of the English Inductively Coupled Plasma. Indeed, it is an inductively coupled plasma analytical technique that makes it possible to measure the content of an inorganic element present in a sample. This technique is applicable to all types of elemental chemical elements.
Next, sample analysis by ICP is indeed made up of several steps:
- First, the solid sample must be brought into solution using a strong acid, a mixture of strong acids, or by microwave digestion. This is known as mineralization.
- Second, the preparation is introduced by vaporization into an argon plasma, then placed at very high temperatures. These thermal excitations lead to ionization and element separation phenomena. They thus make it possible to characterize and detect each element according to the analyzers used.
The training is intended for technicians, R&D engineers, quality control managers, and laboratory managers who use or wish to use an ICP-MS, ICP-AES (ICP-OES), or ICP-MS/MS in their analytical activities.
A background in analytical chemistry is recommended. Prior knowledge of ICP is not required, as the program can be adapted to the participants’ level.
Yes, the content can include the different instrument configurations: ICP-AES for multi-element analysis, ICP-MS for trace analysis, and ICP-MS/MS for advanced interference management.
Yes, the training includes the identification of isobaric, polyatomic, and matrix interferences, as well as correction strategies (isotopic selection, collision/reaction cell, dilution, sample preparation).
Yes, the critical steps of acid digestion, dilution, microwave mineralization, blank management, and contamination are detailed to ensure the reliability of ICP results.
Yes, examples can be built from your matrices (aqueous solutions, metal alloys, polymers, powders, formulated products) to ensure direct application of the skills acquired.
