Learning unit contents
The Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry practical sessions of Q4 are designed to complement the theoretical lectures and seminars of Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry course (Partim II, CHIM9332-1). They constitute the logical continuation of the modules initiated in the first semester. In this second part, you will work directly with intruments such as an HPLC-UV, GC-FID, AAS and a handheld NIR spectrometer, in order to illustrate certain technical aspects covered theoretically and to further develop your analytical mindset, particularly by reflecting on the calibration strategy to be applied depending on the analytical problem.
Two modules are scheduled for this second semester:
- Module 3: Analysis using comparative methods using different analytical techniques
- Module 4: Synthesis and analytical reasoning
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Throughout the practical sessions, you will be expected to develop new skills structured around the following learning outcomes :
Quality
- Apply complex operating procedures in a laboratory setting
- Propose and justify an appropriate operating procedure based on a given analytical context, in alignment with theoretical course material
- Identify and record relevant data in a laboratory notebook
- Actively contribute to team-based work by sharing responsibilities to achieve a common outcome
- Work effectively as a team by distributing tasks efficiently during an analysis.
- Demonstrate mastery of the concept of reference chemical substances
- Understand and apply the concept of internal standards
- Generate quantitative results from analytical data using comparative methods (based on multi-point calibration)
- Select an appropriate calibration strategy according to the analytical problem presented, in connection with theoretical concepts
- Assess the accuracy of quantitative analytical results by considering potential sources of error
- Solve analytical problems of a complexity comparable to those encountered during practical sessions
- Know the pharmaceutical applications of the raw materials handled
- Apply good laboratory practices
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Before undertaking the Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry practical sessions, you are expected to have a solid background in chemistry and to have successfully completed the courses CHIM0748-3 and CHIM9326-1.
Moreover, completion of the Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry Part I course (CHIM0320-3) and the parctical works of Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry (CHIM0321-3) is a prerequisite.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The learning activities for the practical sessions are organized as follows:
In addition to the laboratory work, several lectures will be held in the auditorium to explain the structure and expectations of the practical sessions.
Four seminar sessions are scheduled as part of the CHIM9332-1 course. These seminars are considered essential content and must be understood in order to successfully complete the practical work.
The practical sessions will be conducted in student groups and will involve the use of various instruments (HPLC-UV, AAS, GC-FID, and NIR). Their purpose is to apply appropriate calibration strategies in a hands-on context.
The full schedule of these activities is available in Celcat
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Further information:
Practical work are organized in the student laboratory of the Pharmacy Department (CHU, Tower 4, +4 level)
The attendance at practical work and associated activities (seminars, explanations,...) is compulsory. Any absence must be notified by a email just before the course or practical work and justified by sending an official document legally recognized in its country of issue to Dr. De Bleye (cdebleye@uliege.be) and Madam Saker (b.saker@uliege.be) in 24h.
An attendance à 80% of all activities is compulsory to attend to the examen in first and second session.
Course materials and recommended or required readings
Platform(s) used for course materials:
- eCampus
Further information:
The eCampus platform provides access to the practical manual and PowerPoint presentations.
You will also find on the eCampuis platform:
- A graphic syllabus offering a visual overview of all activities scheduled throughout the semester
- A detailed program of activities
- Group compositions
No reference book is required to complete the practical sessions and associated activities. For further explanations, students may refer to the Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry Part I and II theoretical courses (CHIM0320-3 and CHIM9332-1).
For additional or differently presented information, students may consult the Mémo Visuel de Chimie Analytique (Dunod, 2020), available at the Life Sciences Library (CHU de Liège campus)
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam
Written work / report
Continuous assessment
Out-of-session test(s)
Further information:
During the semester:
- Practical sessions: 40% of the final grade
- Tests: 30% of the final grade
Exam:
The exam represents 30% of the final grade. This written exam assesses the integration of all course content.
Second session:
In the secobd session, the final grade is based on two components:
- The grade obtained for the year's practical work (40%), which is carried over
- A written exam (60%) consisting of questions similar to those in the tests and the exam of the first session
