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

  Area of Education: Engineering/Science

Main field of studies: Chemistry, Chemical Engineering

  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 analytical separation techniques. After completing this course the student should be able to:
  • Give an account of basic concepts within the area of analytical separation techniques (chromatography and capillary electrophoresis).
  • Describe the principles and construction of instruments used for chromatography and capillary electrophoresis.
  • Explain the chemical principles of analytical separation methods.
  • Qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate data obtained from chromatographic and electrophoretic separations.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Calculation tools for chemistry students, Analytical 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.

Supplementary courses:
Organic Analytical Chemistry

Organisation:
The course consists of lectures, laborations and short written tests. The laborations are compulsory.
