Introduction to On-Site Analysis
Analytical chemistry is pivotal in establishing food quality and securing food safety in the food domain. However, analysing samples in a laboratory takes time, whereas on-site analysis provides immediate results. This online course introduces on-site analysis. Next, the course aims to inspire you to explore how this type of analysis could change the landscape of analytical chemistry in the coming decade, mainly in your field of expertise.
The course environment will be accessible within one week after
registration.
