Learning outcomes To explore the analytical methods used in analytical chemistry and biochemistry, with emphasis on chromatography and electrophoresis, electrochemical methods, methods of atomic spectroscopy and radiochemical methods as well as their equipment. The course will also explore experimental design.
At the end of this curriculum unit the student should be able to:
- Explain the principles and applications of different types of electrophoresis
- Explain the basic principles and mode of operation of equipment used in absorption spectroscopy / atomic emission and select the most appropriate for solving a real case.
- Explain the basic principles of operation of equipment commonly used in electrochemical methods and select the most suitable for a study case.
- Explain the principles of chromatography, GC-MS and HPLC.
- Explain the basic principles of radiochemical methods.
- Apply experimental design to experiments.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Teaching-Learning Rating = 0.75 Theoretical (TE) + 0.25 Laboratory Practice (PL)
Theoretical = weighted average of two tests (0.50 T1 + 0.50 T2)
Laboratory Practice =(Reports (average score of 4 reports)

Exam Classification = 0.75 Exam (TE) + 0.25 Laboratory Practice (PL)

In each of the components, TE and PL, a rating greater than or equal to 9.5 values is required
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
