Does your team need training in optical emission spectrometry (OES)?
Have you just acquired an OES for your laboratory? Are the competent person or people no longer part of your team? Would you like to improve your expertise in OES analysis and result interpretation? FILAB supports you in training your team in OES.
What is the principle of optical emission spectrometry (OES)?
Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES) is a fast, simple and non-destructive analysis technique that makes it possible to determine the chemical composition of a metal part and ensure its quality.
The OES technique consists of 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 emitted wavelengths are characteristic of the chemical element, and the intensity of each emission spectrum determines the concentration of the element in the sample.
Why take training in optical emission spectrometry?
Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES) is an essential elemental analysis technique for accurately determining the chemical composition of metallic materials.
Mastering the use of OES enables you to
- better control material compliance,
- identify formulation deviations,
- document development decisions,
- or meet strict regulatory requirements.
Targeted training enables your teams to work more independently when interpreting OES results, optimize quality control strategies, and secure your analyses for production, development, or expert assessment projects.
OES training with FILAB laboratory
FILAB laboratory, an expert in chemical analysis and OES analysis, offers professional training designed to pass on the technical and operational fundamentals of optical emission spectroscopy, while adapting them to your specific challenges.
Tailor-made training
At FILAB, we develop and offer our clients only tailor-made training courses, aligned with your industrial challenges or analytical issues.
Indeed, each OES training course is customized according to your sector (pharma, medical devices, cosmetics, metallurgy…), your objectives and your team’s level.
Do you want to train technicians in the chemical analysis of metal alloys, understand composition deviations, secure your material inspections, or interpret non-conformities in production?
We adapt the content, practical cases and training materials to your actual materials, your internal standards and your quality, production or R&D challenges.
Thanks to this tailor-made approach, your employees quickly build their skills and can integrate the OES tool in a relevant way into your analysis and decision-making processes.
