Prel. scheduled hours: 58
Rec. self-study hours: 102

  Area of Education: Science

Main field of studies: Chemistry

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1

Aim:
The aim of the course is to give fundamental theoretical, practical and instrumental knowledge in the field of atomic and molecular spectrometry, and analytical separation techniques. After completing this course the student should be able to:
  • Give an account of basic concepts within the area of atomic and molecular spectrometry, and analytical separation techniques (chromatography and capillary electrophoresis).
  • Describe the principles and construction of instruments used for spectrometric analyses and analytical separations.
  • Explain the chemical principles of spectrometric analyses and analytical separations.
  • Interpret and qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate data obtained from spectrometric analyses and analytical separations.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course consists of lectures and laborations. The laborations are compulsory.

Course contents:
Theory of chromatographic separation. Gas chromatography (GC) including sample injection, separation and detection. High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods such as normal phase and reverse phase HPLC, size-exclusion chromatography and ion chromatography. Capillary electrophoresis. Mass spectrometry (MS), manual and computer-based interpretation of mass spectra, GC-MS and HPLC-MS. Molecular ultraviolet/visible absorption spectroscopy and molecular fluorescence.
