About the course

The course provides a critical understanding, as well as theoretical and practical knowledge, of classical and instrumental analysis, which is required for professional activities in the chemically oriented sciences, as well as to enhance the possibilities for teaching chemical analysis at the college level. The course commences with a theoretical section, which treats the basics of instrumental chemical analysis. Emphasis is placed on the measurement principles and the function of the instruments. During this section, some statistical techniques, such as linear regression analysis and error propagation in measurement systems, are also treated.

The subsequent experimental part of the course provides training in the correct handling of instrumentation for chemical analysis and measurements in chemical systems. Among the techniques taught are electrochemistry (polarography, coulometry, amperometry, as well as potentiometry with pH- and ion -selective electrodes), atomic emission and atomic absorption spectroscopy with flames and graphite furnaces, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), spectrophotometry in the UV and visible regions of the spectrum, gas chromatography and liquid chromatography, and titration with EDTA (complexometric titration).
