Objectives

The main objectives are: 1) learning the application of different chromatographic techniques; 2) learning the sample preparation techniques; 3) understanding the quantitative analytical chemistry.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge in Chemistryand Organic Chemistry.

Basic knowledge of statistics.

Subject matter

Instrumentation: HPLC, GC and GC-MS - basic components and how to use.

Sample preparation: SPE, SPME, liquid extraction, lyophilization, dryness and derivatization.

Analytical method validation.

Teaching method

Theoretical subjects are presented and explained to students in lectures in computerized room so learning to be more interactive - view the contents of other prestigious institutions (1.5 h / week).

Each student has 5 practical (2h)classes, working in group: 1 GC work involving gas chromatography, liquid chromatography HPLC and more 3 works involving sample preparation: derivatization and analysis by GC-(FID/MS) and solid phase extraction (SPE) and analysis by HPLC-DAD and still solid phase microextraction and analysis-by SPME-GC (FID / MS).

The final evaluation of this course: 40% of theoretical (2 tests) and 60% practical component which includes oral presentation (PPT) of practical work and critical analysis of a scientific paper.

Evaluation method

2 written tests and a presentation on the experimental part of the course, along with the ongoing evaluation of experimental component .

In case of a negative evaluation will or lack thereof, will enter the theoretical evaluation, classification examination (written).

60% of theoretical evaluation (30% each test) and 40% on the practical component.

The assessment shall in each component, an integer - scale 0-20.

None of the components may have negative evaluation, ie, lower than 10 points.

 

The frequency discipline is mandatory. Derives 70% attendance in lectures and attendance at all practical classe
