Advanced Experimental Tools in Chemistry, 15.0 Credits
About the course
Advanced experimental and instrumental chemistry techniques play key roles for the acquirement of data which are absolutely necessary in many fields of natural sciences, medicine and technology, both in academia and industry. This course will give theoretical and practical knowledge about modern techniques to isolate and characterize different types of molecules important in life sciences and environmental sciences. The course will include four blocks covering tools for (i) synthesis and isolation, (ii) separation, (iii) identification and quantification as well as (iv) structure characterization of molecules. Focus will be given to liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and NMR, IR and X-ray spectroscopy techniques. Theoretical lectures, exercises and self studies will be complemented by field sampling trips, organic synthesis laboratory work and practical work with advanced chemical instrumentation with applications closely related to local research activities in protein, medicinal and environmental chemistry
Level of Education: Advanced
Notes: This course is a basic course of the Master Programme in Chemistry. The course is given in english if foreign students participate.
