KJVE3510 Analytisk kjemi II Emneplan

Coursework requirements from MALK4000-401 must be approved to participate and submit coursework requirements in MALK4000-403

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

The students shall acquire in-depth knowledge of important instrumental analysis methods, sampling and sample preparation in analytical chemistry. The students shall also receive training in principles for method development and method validation, quality control and quality assurance in a chemical laboratory.

In the BSCA specialisation, campus-based lectures and seminars are the main teaching methods. The lectures will partly be based on Interteaching sequences using readings from the curriculum. Texts used for Interteaching are announced in the digital learning platform of the university.Students read selected texts in advance for each day of class, and everyone is expected to participate in class through questions and through joining in discussion.;In the BSII specialisation, the main teaching method is digital course sequences, and feedback on details of course content, and supervised discussion groups will be available during pre-determined time periods. Feedback on written assignments is used in both specialisations.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student is capable of explaining:

• theoretical and practical principles for the use of chromatographic techniques, with the emphasis on gas chromatography and liquid chromatography
• the theory and functioning of mass spectrometry, basic interpretation of mass spectra
• general sampling principles and practical techniques for sampling gas, liquid and solids
• important sample preparation techniques for chromatographic analysis, including extraction, preparative chromatography and concentration techniques
• principles for method development, optimization and method validation for chromatography
• principles for quality control and quality assurance in a chemical laboratory
• the importance of planning and preparing laboratory work.
• data processing and analysis of large data sets in analytical chemistry

Skills

The student is capable of:

• performing quantitative analyses in accordance with standardized operating procedures
• calibrating and adjusting common measurement instruments
• choosing the appropriate laboratory equipment and using it correctly
• making their own assessment in the choice of sample preparation and analysis techniques
• preparing calibration standards and generating calibration curves that meet the necessary quality requirements
• reading scientific articles and searching in journal databases to find relevant literature in connection with method development and implementation
• using statistical methods and relevant software for data extraction, data analysis and interpretation and quality assurance in analytical chemistry
• determining the identity of unknown analytes based on chromatographic and mass spectrometry analyses

General competence

The student:

• has insight into the application and limitations of common chromatographic and mass spectrometry analysis techniques
• has insight into requirements for good laboratory practice
• has knowledge of the principles for developing new analysis methods, including sampling, sample preparation, qualitative and quantitative analysis
• has knowledge of how accuracy and precision in measurement results are affected by sources of error and uncertainty in instrumentation, procedures and work techniques
• has a background for understanding developments and future perspectives in the field
• is capable of communicating their own results orally and in writing
