Learning outcomes
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe and do calculations with theoretical models for liquid-liquid extraction
- describe theoretical models for separation, optimisation, and detection for chromatographic (liquid- and gas chromatography) and capillary electrophoretic methods
- predict from theoretic models how changes in experimental conditions will influence on separations with the methods above
- describe the construction and function of components in the instrumentation that is used for the methods above
- choose proper chromatographic or capillary electrophoretic method for a given problem
- plan and perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of for example bioanalytic character with the above mentioned methods
- plan and perform experiments to evaluate the quality of chromatographic methods
- present (English/Swedish) orally and in written reports experimentally obtained results
Content
Liquid-liquid-extraction of for example acids, bases and ion-pairs. Liquid chromatography (reversed phase, normal phase, ion-par, ion, size-exclusion), gas chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis (capillary zone electrophoresis, capillary electro chromatography, capillary gel electrophoresis). Theoretic models for separation, optimisation, and detection. Instrumentation for chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. Analytical applications of chromatographic and capillary electrophoretic methods.
Laboratory work in project form in gas and liquid chromatography and also capillary electrophoresis.
Instruction
Lectures, seminars, laboratory work. Compulsory moments: Course introduction, seminars and laboratory work.
Assessment
Examination is arranged during and/or at the end of the course. The laboratory work must also be passed. The laboratory work is evaluated to 3 credits. Students who have failed a test will be given new opportunities.
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
