Course frequency: Annually, but not in 2018
First time: Study year 2012-2013
Course contents:
The course will focus on various applications for organic analytical chemistry:
- HPLC: for purification and isolation of organic compounds
- GC/MS and GC/ECD: within environmental chemistry and pollution
- LC/MS, GC/MS and GC/FID: for product control in technical applications and synthesis
- LC/MS and GC/MS: for purification and product control within drug and food production.
Quantitative standard methods like GC/MS, LC/MS as well as purification methods like GPC/SEC, Silica based, Alumina-based chromatography will be applied and evaluated. Critical method validation and quality control will be integrated in both lectures and practice.
Learning outcome:
A practical guidance is provided into the analytical organic chemistry as a versatile tool in a variety of applications spanning from technical control, product control to pharmaceutical application, food safety, environmental chemistry and medical/ health related applications. After completion, the candidates should have knowledge of, and be familiar with, the various analytical techniques used for sample purification and quantitative analysis using a variety of separation and detection techniques, including mass spectrometry, UV-VIS detection etc. Interpretation of chromatograms and quantification procedures are central topics. Students will become familiar with the validation of methods for specific applications and will be able to select appropriate methods for a specific application within the field of organic analytical chemistry.
Learning activities:
There will be lectures and seminars where students are expected to be involved in a constructive and active way. Students are given a project to work on and present in plenary. Laboratory experiments were laboratoryreports must be handed in and will be evaluated before the written exam.
Teaching support:
Office hours will be announced. Seminars will be held in which the laboratory work is discussed.
Canvas.
Syllabus:
