Your teams need training in the OES technique...
Have you just acquired an OES within your laboratory? Is the person or people you need no longer part of your team? Would you like to improve your expertise in OES analysis and use of the results? FILAB can help you train your teams in OES.
What is Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES)?
Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES) technology is a fast, simple and non-destructive analysis technique for determining the chemical composition of a metal part and ensuring its quality.
The OES technique involves applying electrical energy between an electrode and a metal sample. The atoms and ions thus excited in the discharge plasma create an emission spectrum specific to each element. The wavelengths emitted are characteristic of the chemical element and the intensity of each emission spectrum determines the concentration of the element in the sample.
Why take a course in Optical Emission Spectrometry?
OES training with the FILAB laboratory
The FILAB laboratory, an expert in chemical and OES analysis, offers a professional training course designed to pass on the technical and operational fundamentals of optical emission spectroscopy, while adapting them to your specific problems.
Customised training
At FILAB, we only develop and offer our customers tailor-made training courses that address your industrial issues or analytical challenges.
Each OES training course is tailored to your sector (pharmaceuticals, DM, cosmetics, metallurgy, etc.), your objectives and the level of your teams.
Do you want to train technicians in the chemical analysis of metal alloys, understand compositional differences, secure your material controls or interpret non-conformities in production?
We can tailor the content, case studies and training materials to your real materials, your internal standards and your quality, production or R&D challenges.
Thanks to this tailor-made approach, your employees will quickly gain skills and be able to integrate the OES tool into your analysis and decision-making processes.
FILAB, approved training organisation and accredited laboratory
FILAB is both an independent ISO 17025-accredited analysis laboratory and an approved training organisation, renowned for its technical expertise and its ability to train manufacturers and laboratories on their specific problems.
Thanks to its analytical facilities and the expertise of its engineers in the chemical analysis of metal alloys, FILAB has been offering tailor-made technical training tailored to the needs of industry for over 10 years.
Every year, the laboratory helps players in demanding sectors - fine chemicals, surface treatment, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, transport, cosmetics and luxury goods - to enhance the skills of their quality, R&D or production teams, using cutting-edge equipment and real-life case studies.
Opting for a FILAB training course means benefiting from a transfer of know-how directly from the field, validated by years of practical experience in regulated sectors with high technical requirements.
Why choose FILAB for your OES training?
As an accredited training organisation, FILAB supports your teams in the use of the Optical Emission Spectrometry analysis technique, whatever your sector of activity.
By choosing FILAB, you benefit from applied OES training, led by experts in the field, tailored to your samples, your industrial challenges (quality, R&D, production) and your operational objectives: defect observation, coating control, cleaning validation, etc. Unlike standardised approaches, FILAB offers tailor-made training, adjusted to the level of your teams, your sector of activity and your needs in terms of autonomy or increasing skills.
To register for the course or obtain a quote, please contact us directly by email or telephone.
Training will start within 3 months of acceptance of the agreement.
Why call on FILAB for any training in analytical chemistry or materials?
FILAB is QUALIOPI certified for its training activities. This certification means that the training courses we provide can be the subject of a funding application to the OPCOs.
Analytical training is essential for professionals seeking to master analysis and characterisation techniques, as it covers a wide range of techniques for analysing and characterising substances, materials or products in various industrial sectors.
Our analytical training programmes are designed to equip participants with the skills they need to excel in their field, combining rigorous theory with practical applications. Find out how our analytical training courses can transform the skills base of your business.
There are several reasons for the growing number of requests for training from FILAB:
Tailor-made technical training: most training courses offered by many training organisations are standard, not tailor-made, and do not address your technical issues.
Highly qualified personnel: our trainers are laboratory staff, doctors or specialised engineers.
Industrial knowledge: FILAB has been providing training to its customers for over 10 years in all industrial sectors.
