Unit of Competency | MSL977009A - Apply advanced ultraviolet, visible and near infra red spectroscopic techniques to analysis |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit of competency covers the ability to analyse samples using specialist techniques and modern accessories that extend the capability of ultraviolet, visible and near infra red (UV/VIS/NIR) spectrometers. The unit includes establishing client needs for routine and non-routine samples, optimising enterprise procedures and instruments for specific samples, obtaining valid and reliable data and reporting test results. Personnel are required to recognise atypical test data/results and troubleshoot common analytical instrument and procedure problems and perform routine instrument maintenance. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency is applicable to experienced laboratory technical officers/technicians, laboratory supervisors and technical specialists who conduct instrumental analysis in laboratories providing consultancy, research and development and quality assurance services. These services may be provided for a wide range of industry sectors, such as biomedical and forensic science (e.g. identification of paints), environmental monitoring (pollutants in air, soil and water), agricultural and mineral testing, industrial analysis (paints, inks, dyes, paper and petrochemical products), pharmaceutical products (active ingredients) and food and beverage (colour, rapid protein and moisture analysis).Industry representatives have provided case studies to illustrate the practical application of this unit of competency and to show its relevance in a workplace setting, at the end of this unit of competency under the section This competency in practice. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |
