Three-Day Training on Mastering LC-MS/MS: Advanced Techniques for Water Quality Analysis
The U.S.-Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Water (USPCAS-W) at Mehran University of Engineering & Technology (MUET) successfully organized a three-day capacity-building training workshop on “LC-MS/MS: Advanced Techniques and Water Quality Parameters” under HEC NRPU Project No. 20-16460, led by Dr. Muhammad Rizwan (PI) and Dr. Syeda Sara Hasan (Co-PI).
This intensive training equipped participants with cutting-edge skills in using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to detect and quantify emerging contaminants in water, focusing on critical water quality parameters. Through hands-on sessions, real-world case studies, and expert-led guidance from our skilled team, including Dr Syeda Sara Hasan, Assistant Professor; Ms Sana Saeed, PhD Scholar; Ms Saira Sidhu, Research Assistant; Mr Bilal Bashir, Research Assistant; Ms Naila Gul, Lab Technician, and Mr Mumtaz Ali Tunio, Research Assistant, participants gained practical expertise in sample preparation, instrument operation, and data interpretation.
Upon successful completion, participants were awarded training completion certificates, recognizing their dedication and newly acquired expertise in advanced water quality analysis techniques. The workshop fostered collaboration among researchers and professionals, advancing environmental monitoring and water quality research in Pakistan. A huge thank you to all trainers, participants, and stakeholders for their commitment to improving water safety and sustainability!
