| Competences obtained within basic science: Comprehends the important parameters for developing, validating and applying new analytical methods in different fields of research Comprehends the use of solid data processing and evaluation of analytical data Knowledge of sampling techniques, sample preparation and preconcentration Knowledge of the chemical theory behind and use of modern instrumental techniques for quantitative chemical analysis Competences obtained within Ethics and Values: Is aware of critical evaluation of analytical chemical data in the literature Is aware of how to apply quality assessment and quality control measures | |||||||||||||||||||
| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||||||
| The course objective is to give the participants a general understanding of analytical chemistry. The participants are introduced to modern instrumental techniques and analytical approaches within e.g. environmental and food chemistry and plant biology. Basic skills are obtained for developing, validating and applying analytical methods to real world problems. Furthermore, the participants become familiar with methods for data processing, data analysis, statistical evaluation and quality assurance | |||||||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||||
| The course topics include: An introduction to analytical chemistry: choice of analytical methodology, sampling, sample preparation, chemical analysis, tools for quantitative chemical analysis, quality assurance. Extraction methods such as liquid-liquid extraction, solid phase extraction, super-critical fluid extraction and accelerated solvent extraction. Cleanup and fractionation methods. Introduction to Chromatography, high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC) and other chromatographic methods. Detector types with focus on mass spectrometry and hyphenated techniques such as GC-MS and LC-MS. Introduction to spectroscopic methods (UV-VIS, IR, X-ray, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductive coupled plasma mass spectrometry). Introduction to data processing, errors in chemical analyses, statistical analyses (including chemometrics) and data presentation. Method development, evaluation, validation and QA/QC measures. Compulsory laboratory exercises comprise projects which involve sampling, extraction and cleanup, methods of analysis, data processing and data evaluation. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Undervisningsform | |||||||||||||||||||
| Lectures and theoretical exercises: The lectures will present the general chemical background of the measurement principles and instrumental techniques as well as theory on sampling, data processing, data analysis, quality assurance and method validation. Theoretical exercises: These exercises will train the students to carry out calculations on the data produced from different instrumental techniques including statistical analyses, reporting and QA/QC. Laboratory exercises: Laboratory exercises represent the heart of the course. Here, the participants train the different instrumental techniques and get used to analytical work in the laboratory. The laboratory exercises comprise 6 compulsory themes. Theoretical and laboratory exercises are performed by groups of 2 or 3 students. A 1-day excursion to a larger accredited laboratory is included in the course. | |||||||||||||||||||
