About the course
Aim
Knowledge and understandingOn completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Describe basic terms and concepts within spectrometry and analytical separation techniques such as chromatography and capillary electrophoresis.
- Describe the construction principles of instruments used in spectrometric analysis and separation.
- Explain the chemical principle of spectrometric analysis and separation methods.
Skills and abilitiesOn completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Interpret and make qualitative and quantitative assessments of data obtained from spectrometric analyses and analytical separations.
Judgement ability and approachOn completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Demonstrate a critical approach to searching for relevant information about various spectrometric analysis methods and analytical separation methods and their applications within medicine.
Content
The aim of the course is to provide fundamental knowledge of modern instrumental analysis techniques and how these can be used to identify and quantify chemical compounds in various types of sample. The course encompasses general concepts within analytical chemistry and the theory of chromatographic separation. Techniques included: Gas chromatography (GC), including injection, separation and detection; liquid chromatography (LC) methods such as straight-phase and reversed-phase separation, gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography; capillary electrophoresis; mass spectrometry (MS), including manual and computerised interpretation of mass spectra; molecular absorption spectrometry (UV spectrometry); and molecular fluorescence (spectrofluorometry). The course encompasses the field analytical chemistry, with a link to medical chemistry.
