Lab Training
Hands-on instrument and wet-lab training for students and professionals on GC-MS, LC-MS, ICP-MS, HPLC and more.
About Lab Training
CVR Labs delivers hands-on laboratory training for students, research scholars and working QC professionals inside a live, NABL ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory in Chennai, backed by our ISO 9001:2015 quality system. Participants operate real instruments — GC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, ICP-MS, HPLC and AAS — on real samples, not simulations.
Programmes are tailored to the participant's level and goals, covering instrument operation, sample preparation, core wet-chemistry and microbiology technique, and good laboratory practice, with mentoring for academic and research projects.
What Lab Training includes
- Hands-on GC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, ICP-MS, HPLC & AAS
