About the course
Aim
To gain general and specific knowledge concerning the analysis of mainly low-molecular-weight organic compounds. The student will after the course cover many of the analytical techniques that are important within the field of chemical analysis. The student shall also be able to utilize scientific literature within the area. In order to achieve this it is necessary to:
- Theoretically and practically cover gas chromatographic techniques
- Theoretically and practically cover high performance liquid chromatographic techniques
- Apply mass spectrometry and interpret mass spectrometric data for structure determination of unknown organic compounds
- Develop analytical methods for trace element analysis, qualitatively as well as quantitatively
- Be able to perform basic instrument maintenance
Content
- Mass spectrometry concerning the function of the spectrometer, the most common mass spectrometric techniques, manual and computerized interpretation of mass spectra and combinations of chromatographic separation techniques and mass spectrometry.
- Chromatographic high-resolution separation techniques. Development of analytical methods in theory and practice as well as their environmental and sustainability aspects. Trace compound analysis including concentration, separation, identification, and quantification.
