26312 Instrumental Analysis (Experimental course)
Danish title: Instrumentel analyse (øvelseskursus)
Language:  Danish    ECTS-creditpoints:  5   
Type:  , course at phd level, open university
Class schedule:   juni
Exam schedule:   No exam
Recommended semester:  4th -7th semester
Scope and form:  Laboratory exercises(seven 2-days exercises on 2-person team).
Evaluation:  Approval of exercises

Previous course:  C2146 / 21455
Compulsory:  C2107 / 21245 / 26300.C8860 / 56060 / C8859 / 56059
Prerequisites:  C2140 / 21250 / 26310 or comparative analytical chemical theoretical prerequisites
No credit points with:  C2146 / 21455
Participant limitation:  Max. 20
Aim:  To teach the student the essential elements in the use of the most commonly employed analytical chemical instrumental methods and to enable the student - with this practical experience - to make an intelligent choice among existing instruments for a given assignment. To offer the student insight in methods for sampling and pre-preparation of sample material. To give basis for critical evaluation of the results obtained. The exercises will comprise assays which are typical for a modern analytical chemical laboratory
Contents:  Optical methods: UV / VIS-spectrophotometry. Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (flame, graphite oven and hydride generation). Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Electrochemical methods: Potentiometry (ion selective electrodes) and potentiometric stripping analysis. Liquid-liquid chromatography (HPLC). Automated analysis (Flow Injection Analysis). Chemometrics. Sample preparation (digestion, extraction), sample evaluation standard-addition, statistics and quality control. Beside offering practical hand-on experience with various analytical techniques, an integral part of the course aims at providing the student with a critical position to the analytical results obtained.
Remarks:  Important aspects of the curriculum in the theoretical course C2140/21250/26310 Instrumental Analysis are experimentally illustrated.
The experimental course thus requires the theoretical basis from course 26310 (or a comparative course).
