| Analytical chemistry deals with the separation of matrix components, their identification and their quantitative determination. Quantitative analysis and measurements (or results) play a vital role in a number of industrial and research areas, include pharmacy and other sciences. Many analysts spend a considerable about of their time collecting quantitative information from often very complex matrices. Consequently, analytical chemistry is a very important tool for investigative research in a number of areas (chemical, biomedical, pharmaceutical...).
Analytical chemistry therefore forms a core teaching unit in the Bachelor level in Pharmaceutical Sciences. It is based on the life cycle of analytical procedures, i.e. the resolution of problems covering the entire analytical life of the sample, from its origin to the final customer.
Clearly, all concepts intervening in the life cycle of an analytical procedure cannot be addressed in this introduction to analytical chemistry. The general analytical training of future pharmacists both in theoretical and practical terms, which be thus accomplished in the practical work in term Q4 (CHIM0231-1) and the courses in terms 5 and 6. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Introduction:
- Analytical Procedure (Life Cycle);
- Presentation of results;
- Types of error;
- Expression of concentration levels (reminder).
To provide relevant information on the following techniques:
- Titrimetry (acid-base titration, complexometric titration, redox titration, titration in an anhydrous medium, etc.).
- Electroanalysis (Potentiometry, Electrolysis, Amperometry, Coulometry).
- Molecular spectroscopy (ultraviolet and visible absorption spectroscopy).
- Introduction to separation techniques (Separation by change of state, distillation, correction ; fundamental chromatographic parameters).
- Introduction to chromatographic methods (Thin Layer Chromatography). |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
|
- General Chemistry (courses for biomedical and pharmaceutical students).
- Biostatistics.
- Physical and mathematical bases of biomedical sciences.
|
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Practical exercises will take place independently of theoretical teaching (Practical exercises - Introduction to Analytical Chemistry, 100h - CHIM0321-1). |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Presential.
Lectures are ex-cathedra.
Lectures : each Tuesday morning (10.30 - 12h00) and Thursday morning (8.30 - 10.00) during Q4.
Schedule: see vade mecum. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Condensed notes and PowerPoint slides are available on MyULg.

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| A written exam on the subject defined by the professor and scientific staff :
written exam.
Oral resit (first session only). |
|
Work placement(s) :
|
| Internship opportunity.
Student assistant: opportunities are given to students interested in teaching Analytical Chemistry. The work mainly consists of supervising practical exercises.
Research: outside class and exam periods (from the end of the second year of the Baccalaureat), students interested in Analytical Chemistry can participate in an internship in the laboratory (student-researchers). PhD degrees can subsequently be prepared in the department. |
|
Organizational remarks :
|
| where students can post questions about the subject matter. |
