In this course on the Instrumental Analyses of Micro and Macro components, you will learn how to analyse components in biological samples using instrumental techniques. You will be introduced to the interfaces between organic and analytical chemistry and will carry out applied research in bioanalysis.
PROGRAM DETAILS
(this minor is also offered in Dutch: search for Instrumentele analyse van micro- en macrocomponenten)
The semester-long course focuses on 2 assignments. The first is synthesis of an aromatic component and analysis of products with analytical chemistry. The theme is the interface between organic and analytical chemistry. The second assignment is examining food products for elements and biomolecules. Quality and safety are central. You will work with HPLC, GC, GC-MS, AAS and electrochemical techniques.
The theoretical part of the course covers aromatic chemistry, instrumental analytical techniques and statistics. You apply the statistics to the research results of the assignments and you start working with method development and quality assurance. You also learn how to present the research results in a presentation and in an advisory report.
Topics
