Learning outcomes |
The Instrumental Analysis Methods course aims to provide general basic knowledge of the instrumental techniques of analysis usually used in chemical analysis laboratories, namely, the UV-Vis molecular spectrophotometry, atomic absorption/emission spectroscopy, electroanalytical and chromatographic methods.
At the end of this course the students should be able to:
-know the basic principles of the equipment operation and know to use properly some of the most used in chemical analysis laboratories.
- assess the benefits and limitations of different instrumental methods
- select an appropriate instrumental method to solve a particular problem in a case study, based on theoretical knowledge and using scientific literature as a resource.
- interpret, explain and express accurately the analytical results.
- be familiar with the analytical methods validation procedures.
