Annotation -
This practical laboratory course introduces students to the conventional instrumental techniques of chemical analysis. The analytical methods taught are divided into 3 basic groups: electrochemical, separation and spectrometric methods. Emphasis is placed on understanding the principles demonstrated for each instrumental method. Students are guided through the handling of raw experimental data, its statistical evaluation and the presentation of calculated results. Strict compliance with GLP and safety regulations is required throughout the course. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to work independently with common analytical instruments. An integral part of the classification is the continuous control of the knowledge required to perform each task, the classification of protocols and the evaluation of laboratory work.

This laboratory course is organised in two-week sessions with students working in small groups. This laboratory course is organized in the summer and winter terms. IN THE WINTER TERM, THE COURSE TAKES PLACE AT THE END OF NOVEMBER OR IN DECEMBER (2-WEEK BLOCK).


On completion of the course, the student will be able to: for these instrumental analytical methods (polarography, conductometry and conductometric titration, Karl Fischer titration, atomic absorption and emission spectrometry, spectrophotometry, capillary electrophoresis, gas chromatography with flame ionization detection, liquid chromatography with UV/VIS detection):
- explain the principle of the above analytical methods
- independently prepare solutions and use instruments (carry out measurements) on the basis of task instructions
- interpret measured graphs and curves (polarographic curves, conductometric and potentiometric titration curves, absorption/emission spectra, chromatograms, calibration curves)
- describe, evaluate and draw conclusions from measured data
- record the procedure, results and conclusions in a report

Requirements to the exam -

Credits will be awarded on completion of all prescribed tasks in the course and submission of all properly prepared protocols within 14 days of the end of the course.

Protocols will be graded from 1 (excellent) to 4 (unsatisfactory) according to their quality (results, statistical analysis and presentation).

The sum of the scores of the graded protocols must not exceed the critical limit (25) to receive the credits.
