Content

The theoretical basis of selected instrumental techniques is studied in detail. A selected technique is completely described theoretically, and established on an actual instrument, including preparative steps. This includes methodological development, calibration and verification.

Learning outcome

The candidate should obtain detailed knowledge of selected (one or several) instrumental analytical techniques applied in Chemical or Environmental research. The candidate should know the principles of functionality and application of important selected analytical approaches (e.g. chromatography, spectrometry, respirometry, etc.) incluing sample preparation and data analysis central to the candidates own research area, and document general analytical knowledge on PhD-level.
