Kursets målsætning
The course objective is give the participants a general understanding of analytical chemistry. The participants are introduced to modern instrumental techniques and analytical approaches within e.g. environmental and food chemistry and plant biology. Basic skills are obtained for developing, validating and applying analytical methods to real world problems. Furthermore, the participants become familiar with methods for data processing, data analysis, statistical evaluation and quality assurance
 
Kursusindhold
The course topics include: An introduction to analytical chemistry: choice of analytical methodology, sampling, sample preparation, chemical analysis, tools for quantitative chemical analysis, quality assurance. Extraction methods such as liquid-liquid extraction, solid phase extraction, super-critical fluid extraction and accelerated solvent extraction. Cleanup and fractionation methods. Introduction to Chromatography, high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC) and other chromatographic methods. Detector types with focus on mass spectrometry and hyphenated techniques such as GC-MS and LC-MS. Introduction to spectroscopic methods (UV-VIS, IR, X-ray, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductive coupled plasma mass spectrometry). Introduction to data processing, errors in chemical analyses, statistical analyses (including chemometrics) and data presentation. Method development, evaluation, validation and QA/QC measures.

Compulsory laboratory exercises comprise projects which involve sampling, extraction and cleanup, methods of analysis, data processing and data evaluation.
 
Undervisningsform
Lectures and theoretical exercises: The lectures will present the general chemical background of the measurement principles and instrumental techniques as well as theory on sampling, data processing, data analysis, quality assurance and method validation. Theoretical exercises: These exercises will train the students to carry out calculations on the data produced from different instrumental techniques including statistical analyses, reporting and QA/QC. Laboratory exercises: Laboratory exercises and the mini project represent the heart of the course. Here, the participants train the different instrumental techniques and get used to analytical work in the laboratory. The laboratory exercises comprise 6 compulsory themes (first 6 weeks) plus one larger project. The subject of this project is selected by the students in collaboration with the course teachers. The project is chosen in order to fulfil the interests and individual aims of the students. Theoretical and laboratory exercises are performed by groups of 2 - 3 students. Seminars: The seminars are used by the students for presentation of experimental projects. Seminars will be held at the end of the course. A 1-day excursion to a larger accredited laboratory is included in the course.
