Analytical Methods 2 builds upon the concepts studied in Analytical Methods 1 and provides advanced studies in instrumental chemical analysis with training in modern hyphenated techniques. Topics covered include gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, as well as H and C nuclear magnetic resonance. Laboratory exercises link theory with practice and students gain 'hands-on' experience with state-of-the-art instruments to determine the identity, structure and physical properties of an unknown synthetic organic compound or pharmaceutical product.
Assessment includes report writing according to industry standards and interpretation of spectroscopic, spectrometric and chromatographic data.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
