Annotation -
The optional laboratory course in classical methods of analysis is intended to deepen practical experimental skills in gravimetric and volumetric techniques. The course is designed for students who wish to practically try out and master some less common techniques of classical analytical chemistry. It is advisable for the student to have already completed the basic laboratory course in analytical chemistry.

Due to the time-consuming nature of the tasks, the course takes place as turnus-style. In the academic year 2025/2026, it will take place from May 11 – 22, 2026, in the basic laboratory of the Department of Analytical Chemistry (lab. 116) from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It is possible to leave the laboratory to attend exams, credits, etc. The time allocated for the laboratory course is over-dimensioned by about 1/3 of what is strictly necessary to complete all tasks.

The practical course will only be opened if at least 5 students enroll in it.
