The 2025 ICP Academy aimed to cover the fundamentals and advanced applications of ICP-MS and ICP-OES. Kicking of with day 1 of the academy focusing on core topics such as calibration, sample preparation, traceability, maintenance, and method development. Whilst Day 2 provided an intensive session on trace analysis, including interference management, contamination reduction, microwave sample preparation, instrument optimization, and a Q&A.

Following feedback from last year's academy, we are planning on adding an additional 1-day “Introduction to ICP” session for beginners at the 2026 academy.
