Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To provide the student with an introduction to the principles of instrumental analysis (sample preparation, 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 sample preparation, spectrophotometric (atomic) and chromatographic methods of analysis;
- develop a practical know-how in sample preparation, 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.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
CHIM9242-4 - Fundamentals of quantitative analytical chemistry

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Face-to-face lectures and laboratory exercises, personal work
It is mandatory to attend all seminars and TPs. A preparation test in eCampus is mandatory before each TP to access the corresponding session.
In case of no justified absence from the TP, the session will be counted as 0.
In case of no justified absence from the seminar a penalty point of -0.5 will be assigned
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
