| Kursus resumé | Advanced course in how to take and prepare samples in analytical chemistry. This course is a natural extension of any basic course in analytical chemistry. Theory and practice of all sampling steps from the initial sample in the field to the final sample injected into the analytical instrument. Theory, computer simulations and simple experiments | ||||||||||||||
| Kursustilmelding | To sign up for the course, please send an e-mail to Bo Svensmark (svensmark@life.ku.dk). If PhD-student, please also remember to add the course to your PhD-plan. For students not enrolled at University of Copenhagen, please remember to apply as a credit student http://www.science.ku.dk/english/courses-and-programmes/other-study-opportunities/credit-students/ | ||||||||||||||

| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||
| The course starts with a throughout treatment of Pierre Gy's Theory of Sampling (TOS), which tells how to obtain a representative sample without systematic errors and with an acceptable uncertainty. Based on TOS the practice and tools for taking the samples and reduce the sample mass in a representative way is treated. All common matrices, soil, water and air, are addressed. The sample preparation part includes active and passive sampling for gases (adsorbents, denuders, traps, filtering etc.), liquid, solid and headspace sampling for liquids (LLE, SPE, SPME SBSE SLE etc.) and liquid and headspace sampling from solids (shake, MW, US, PLE, SFE, etc.). The sample preparation part focus on organic analytes only. | |||||||||||||||
| Undervisningsform | |||||||||||||||
| Lectures, student presentations of curriculum, expert lectures and excursions, theoretical and practical group work, computer simulations | |||||||||||||||
| Målbeskrivelse | |||||||||||||||
| This course enables the student to plan and perform sampling and sample preparation, including sampling strategy, determination of number of samples and sample size, sample selection, sampling techniques and tools, and methods for sample preparation for organic analytes, extraction, filtering, purification and pre-concentration including advanced methods like SPME, SBSE, PLE, SLE for common instrumental analytical methods. | |||||||||||||||

| Deltagerbetaling | |||||||||||||||
| Participants from Danish Universities are free of charge. External students are charged 6000 dkr. for the full course and 3000 dkr. for Sampling only or Sample Pretreatment only. | |||||||||||||||
| Evalueringsform | |||||||||||||||
| Written assignment (Sampling) end oral examination (Sample Pretreatment). Grade passed/not passed for PhD-students and 7-point grading scale for MSc and BSc students. Internal censorship. For the full course both parts will be weighted equally, but both parts must be passed separately in order to pass. If one part is passed, it can be reused, and a re-examination of this part is not allowed | |||||||||||||||

| NB: MS students with relevant qualifications are welcome. A course in instrumental analysis, like the course "Analytical Chemistry 1 LKEF10076", is strongly recommended. Knowledge of, or a course in basic statistics, is also recommended. For questions feel free to contact Bo Svensmark | |||||||||||||||
