Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To provide the student with an introduction to the principles of instrumental analysis (electrochemistry, molecular and atomic spectrometry) with special attention to their strengths and performances.
After completing the course the student is expected to
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the principles of qualitative and quantitative electrochemical spectrophotometric (atomic) and chromatographic methods of analysis;
- develop a practical know-how in electrochemistry, spectrophotometry, GLC and HPLC;
- evaluate the experimental data;
- understand the theoretical and practical aspects of near infrared spectrometry and ICP-MS
The course focuses on classical and modern techniques to separate analytes in analytical chemistry.
After completing the course, the student is expected to be able to :- Describe the separation techniques which have been seen during the course.- Argue the choice of the best technique to separate various analytes from different complex matrixes.- Understand the theoretical principles of separation for each technique seen during the course.- Discuss about case studies including the theoretical aspects of the course.
