Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To provide the student with an introduction to the principles of instrumental analysis (electrochemistry, chromatography, 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, GC 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.

Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
oral exam
- Remote
oral exam
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
Oral examination (65%)- Practical works : laboratory (35%) -
If the COVID situation will not allow the oral exam in person, it will be held on Collaborate with the same modality
