Hours of instruction:

Weekly: four hours of lectures + six hours of labwork (4+0+6)

Goals:

The aim of the course Selected Chapters of Analytical Chemistry is to help students further improve their knowledge in some areas of analytical chemistry. Through experimental exercises students will master modern instrumental methods of analysis: potentiometry, spectrophotometry, HPLC, HPTLC, IC, ICP-MS, ICP-OES, FIA and chemometric methods of processing and interpreting measurement data.

Outcome:

Upon completing this course, a student is able to select the most suitable analytical method and use it in the analysis of complex samples, to process and interpret measurement results.

Teaching methods:

Lectures and experimental exercises (group and individual).
