Description
Content
During the course, student is introduced to the separation and analytical methods used in organic analytics of biomaterials and environment. Among others, theoretical foundations and practical demonstrations of the following methods are included: gas chromatography, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. In addition, spectroscopic methods such as UV, FTIR, Raman and x-ray fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy are considered at the application level.
Completion methods
Demonstrations and discussion groups.
Course exam or alternatively Learning Diary based on the given material and demonstrations.
Assessment details
The course is accepted if 50 % of maximum points in course exam is achieved.
1 = 50-59 %
2 = 60-69 %
3 = 70-79 %
4 = 80-89 %
5 = 90-100 %
Learning outcomes
Student understands the separation mechanisms occurring in chromatography and comprises principles of chromatography and spectroscopic equipment. Students become familiar with a variety of sample processing methods and recognize the influence of sample handling (e.g. pH) on the behavior of the compounds. Students begin to understand the application of chromatographic and spectroscopic methods for the analysis of different types of samples.
