120 credits with 60 credits in chemistry.

Learning outcomes

After passing the course the student should be able to:

  • describe the construction and function of the instrumental components for different spectroscopic techniques
  • utilize flow systems for sample introduction and sample preparation
  • predict how changes in instrumental parameters will influence the measurements with the different techniques
  • perform theoretical calculations related to the techniques discussed
  • evaluate the applicability of the different techniques to solve analytical problems

Content

Analytical aspects of common spectroscopic techniques used in analytical chemistry. Instrumentation and practical aspects of atomic and molecular absorption and emission spectroscopy. Use of flow systems within analytical chemistry.

Instruction

Lectures and/or seminars. Laboratory work.

Assessment

A written exam is given at the end of the course and represents 2.5 credits. The laboratory work represents 2.5 credits. The final grade corresponds to a weighted average of the written examination and the laboratory results.
